open your cpu remove the ram clean it put it back your problem will be sloves

The 'cure' for this is to replace the power supply.
Inside your power supply are Electrolytic Capacitors. These are Filters for a power supply. To simplify detailing the construction of them, let's just say they are small aluminum 'cans', with an Electrolytic paste inside.
They are used to filter the incoming AC electricity from your house, (Business, school, whatever) They are also used to filter the DC electricity, coming out of the power supply. (Your computer power supply converts AC electricity, into DC electricity)
The one's we're going to concern ourselves with here, are the Output capacitors. The one's that filter raw DC into true DC.
When a capacitor (Of this type) starts failing, it's because Electrolytic paste is developing a gas inside. (Hydrogen gas) The gas expands, breaks a seal, and begins pushing the paste out. (Oozing out)
So much paste loss, and the capacitor can still function, but at a weakened state.
These capacitors deal with the voltage power rail for a power supply. Weak capacitor? Weak voltage rail!
Your processor requires a steady, 'clean', supply of DC voltage. It operates in a very TIGHT tolerance. Too much, or too little, it turns off. Too little it doesn't turn on.
The power surge has weakened Electrolytic Capacitors inside your power supply.
Lights light up. Fans spin. It sounds like the harddrive is running. (It IS! It's just sitting there spinning. More about that to come)
ALL the lights use less than 1 watt. EACH fan uses 2 to 3 Watts. The harddrive just sitting there spinning, uses about 5 Watts.
When it's time for the processor to turn on, (BIOS turns it on), it can't! Processors use 55 Watts to 125 Watts. Depends on the processor make and model.
Your harddrive just is just sitting there spinning, because the processor isn't running.
Solution? Replace the power supply, be happy.

what you have to is to unlplug the cord then cut the computer on

During a power outage their is a surge when power come back on the grid (surge can be caused by lighting strikes akso). This surge trips the internal procters inside the power supply to protect the Mother Board, hard drive, processor and fans and any device that pulls wattage from the power supply. Since all these power using devices are trying to pull power at the same time to boot the computer back up one ends up with a loop of surge thrugh the power supply with a protective trip, reset, surge again and trip again. This will continue in this loop as the computer is trying to boot all the devices at one time (Mobo, Hd, processor, cooling fans and other devices). Simoly, more power wattage is being demanded than the protectors will allow at one time causing a protective shutdown followed by a restart followe by a protective shutdown in a continious loop.
The normall sequence for a boot is to boot the board, processor and fans followed by a boot of the hard drive, and other boot devices once the board is energised, NOT all devices at the same time, as this results in an overload and trips the protectors. This protective loop is indicated by the blinking light as the power is turned on and then shut down for protection as the wattage pull is over the demand that the protectors will allow.
Blinking light indictes you are in the protective loop.
SOLUTION: 1. Disconnect the Mother Board connector, with the computer unplugged, this will allow the power supply to reset at maximum wattage upon reboot.
2. Disconnect the Hard Drive power connector and ay boot device power supply cables, this will allow the Mother Board, processors and fans to boot without an overload of the protector inside the power supply.
3. Plug in the computer and the indicator light will be solid green indicating that it is reset and out of the loop.
4. With the computer pluged in and the Power Supply fully energised, plug in the Mother Board. The computer will now boot, and the processor fan will come on and the cooling fans.
5. After computer has rebooted, shut the computer back down and connect the Hard Drive power cable and any other power cablis that were unplugged.
6. Reboot with all cables connected and you are up and running again.
POWER SUPPLIES HAVE AN INDICATOR LIGHT FOR A REASON.
REMBER - BLINKING LIGHT IS AN OVERLOAD OF THE PROTECTORS AND ELLIMINATING THE OVERLOAD SOLVES THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE POWER SUPPLY IS WORKING AND CONVERTING POWER.
NO LIGHT MEANS NO POWER OUTPUT AND THAT INDICATES THE POWER SUPPLY IS NOT FUNCTIONING AND NEEDS REPLACED.
Hope this helps everone with power outages and lightining strikes. It is a rather common problem and can also occure when building a computer and one missmatches the power supply with the board wattage needs. If the board wattage needs are greater than the power supply output you will get stuck in a potective loop eventually. WHEN BUILDING A COMPUTER ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE POWER SUPPLY CAN PRODUCE MORE WATTAGE THAN YOU CAN CONSUME AT THE MAXAMUM LOAD.
Have a great computing experiense.
