Is there any sound at all when you try?

Pull the Power cord and all peripherals, wait 30 minutes & plug the power in again & try.

Got it, thank you.

Weird though, I tried this about 4 times. Left it for about an hour and now it's on.

Thank you

Great news, thanks!

BTW, have you blown the dust out of it lately?

No I haven't. Where would you blow the dust from? I'm thinking on top and sides?
Thanks again

Yeah, that slot along the top is the exhaust, then there's a fan intake grill on the lower back, then you can unscrew the little RAM access door in the middle of the bottom.

Hey me again. ,
Happened again. Can't see it overheating as its been cool. Cleaned that top slot and vacuumed the bottom and top. Seems to happen twice a day for the past couple of days. Let it sit for half hour or so plug it back in and she goes on. Any suggestions? Don't really have a lot of funds for pricey fix.
Thank you again.
