Possibly attempting to boot from a nonbootable device. Remove any USB devices or periferals and try again.

Make sure the power cable is plugged in.

I had an Emachines W3609 that did the same thing, I changed the 350-watt power supply with a 550-watt and it still shut off, even using the newer one. I thought just the first one was bad but I guess not. It had more than enough power to power it up but nothing. And it used to randomly restart at times and then just shut off. Try and get a new hard drive maybe that will help. Good luck!

This has happened to me so many times, with Vista and XP. I had to go on another computer and download the drivers from the website for my PC model, and download them and put them on a flashdrive and install them on my PC I had the issue with. They worked than, I had an issue with my Ethernet port. So hopefully this helps.

Go on your browser, I use Firefox, and click view at the top right corner of the screen and click full screen. Or just hit the F11 key.

The wire that is connected to the first computer probably goes to your modem. Take the wire from the modem and put it into a wireless router that has wire output, put another wire from the modem back to your first computer. Then check the settings. You should then run the setup program for the new router so that you can set the wireless security and other settings.

Attach the cable which comes in to your house to the new router (this should be in the routers' instructions) and make certain that there is power to it. On your PC: most newer models will 'find' the new device and will ask if you want it installed or if you have a disc for it. In Windows you should be able to go into Device Manager or Network if it doesn't pop up and ask you for installation. On a MAC/IPhone/IPad it will pick up the signal automatically and then you set your preferences under 'General' ICON. If this is your first wireless you will have to pick a network and name it as your default.

The "Broadcom undi: ....etc...is the sign that the system has attempted to boot from various devices without any luck and is now going to attempt to boot from the network. Since this is generally done well after attempting to boot from your hard drive I would surmise that the hard drive is not working correctly. You will probably need to take it to a shop.

If your camera isn't working and you just upgraded to Windows 8, you could have a bad driver - just get the Windows 8 driver for your computer or tablet. If you're just trying to find a button to turn it on and see what it sees, that's not exactly how it works. Just use an app - like Skype, or Google Hangouts that uses the camera and it will work automatically.

This issue can occur for many reasons. The most common is an error during shutdown (ie holding down the power button to force power off). The easiest way to fix this is to run the windows repair disc you should have made when you bought your computer. If you do not have this you can order from the manufacturer for around $80. The only other option is to get a boxed retail copy of windows and install that. However if you choose the second you will lose all of your information stored on the computer. I advise you to take caution in attempting any repairs on your computer as any data not backed up may be destroyed. I am not responsible for any data loss occurring from the repair options mentioned above.

If the monitor power light is on or flashing, but nothing displays, borrow a monitor from a friend. If that works, your monitor needs replaced.

Click Start, then Computer. If it shows no (or very little) free space on C:, you are truly out of room and need to delete or move some files to another hard drive (external hard drives are good for this). To operate efficiently, a good rule of thumb is to have at least 20% of your hard drive free.

If you are using windows, use the "clean up" tools to delete all redundant files including logs etc. Then run the defrag tool. If you are running Win Vista or older, consider an upgrade.

Be sure your monitor cable is plugged in tightly on both ends (computer & monitor). If still not working, try another monitor (borrow from a friend, family, another computer). If that works, your monitor went bad.
