If your computer is old,, you could check your BIOS config in case your onboard battery is dead. Reset the clock to the current date and fix any settings that could be wrong. Then if you are lucky your computer will boot normaly. If you then turn it off again it will loose all its current BIOS settings. Another common malfunction is the powersupply, if your computer has some exstra hard-disks cdroms or anything that takes exstra power, you could try to unplug that an see if it is able to boot without it.
