Would you happen to know anything about computers and their functions?

My computer doesn't come on and neither does the monitor.

A co-worker told me that it could be the video card.

I must unplug it in order for it to go off because when I press the on/off button it doesn't respond.

Thank You
Helen

If you can't hear anything, like the hard drive loading, it could be your power supply or RAM, even motherboard.

Could be graphics but it would still attempt to boot usually.

Do you hear the fans start up, and does it make any beeps or hard drive noises?

Unless you have any competent friends who could help, you might need to take it to a computer shop for diagnosis and repair.

Cheers
