When you say "turns on" does that mean that the screen lights up? Or does the switch itself light up but nothing happens on the screen? I know this sounds elementary but often the most obvious things are the things we check the least. If the screen just remains blank, check your monitor's power and connections.

If something happens on the screen but isn't what you want to happen, press and hold the on-off switch. After several seconds it will shut the system off. Try turning it back on again. I do this occasionally when I get the dreaded blue screen (actually, on mine its more of a fuzzy gray screen) on start-up.

VillageTinker gave good advice. F8 should get your computer to boot up in safe mode. If not, try F10 (which works on my Hewlitt-Packard).

Good luck!
