John, sorry to hear of your problems. Unless you really have a faulty hard-drive or CD/DVD drive pulling down the system your machine should still boot through the BIOS even if it cannot find the OS when it gets there. First unplug the machine from the mains then everything from the machine including removing the battery if its a laptop. Ensure no CD/DVD or small USB sticks are left in the machine. Ensure that the power and any reset switch are not stuck in. Give it a few minutes, replace the battery if a laptop then re-connect to the mains. If a desktop a cabled mouse and keyboard are preferred. Now try again.
If it fails and you are not familiar with computer maintenance ask a friend/family to go on-line for you and download a manual for the laptop if appropriate or the motherboard if a desktop, the details will be printed into the motherboard. At the back of the manual all going well you should find the BIOS recovery sequence.
If you are familiar with the insides of computers I would disconnect all drives from the motherboard ideally at the motherboard end, re-seat the memory and all cables, leaving the drives disconnected for the time being and try again. If it still will not play the next task would be to flash the BIOS, not difficult and you may again need access to the Internet to download the replacement BIOS unless it a modern machine which can recover itself but perhaps a subject all on its own. Peter.
