Q: MacBook Pro not working, screen flickerinng

i went to turn my MacBook Pro on this morning and the screen was black but it was still on. I left it for a while and the screen came up with os Mavericks and whether I wanted to reinstall. I choose to reinstall so I could keep my files however the screen continued to flicker first a little then it increased then it went black.
