When I turn on my computer, it within seconds crashes and goes to a blank screen?

I then turn it off at the mains for a minute or so then try starting it up again. I usually have to repeat this process for about 10 times before it actually stays on and I can work it. Does anyone know what the problem might be so I can try and resolve it. I'm useless when it comes to computers and this is driving me nuts, please help.

    BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA RIGHT NOW. Im having the same problem, but computer wont turn on at all. It means either your processer is getting close to being fried or graphics card beyond repair. My computer is sent into HP right now and i was out of warranty so i had to pay $400 to get it fixed. Not a whole lot u can do, but i would get it checked out. once again, back up your data. Hope this helps!

    Before you damage your PC further, get it checked by an experienced engineer or take to the Tech guys at PCWorld and see if they can solve your problem, but get a quote from them before they start any work on your computer...Hope this helps..(-:

    There's a lot possibility of what could be the problem, from my experience, i think there's something wrong with one of your hardware, it could be the power supply or the motherboard, you should bring it to the store to check the problem, don't wait till it get worst.
