Press the power button and keep tapping the delete key until it enters set up
If it does that
Items in blue which are underlined are clickable to give more information about the process
Start the System Restore Utility at a command prompt
1. Restart your computer, and keep tapping F8 during the initial start-up until you get options, select Safe Mode with a Command Prompt then press enter.
2. Log on to your computer with an administrator account or with an account that has administrator credentials.
3. Type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
4. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to restore your computer to an earlier state.
Look for the most recent system checkpoint created before the errors to restore from

well i was hpoing that the delete key would work.... however it still just shuts off. i've also tried f2 and the f8 keys as well as ctrl+alt+delete only to have it still shut off. i knew that i could do a system restore if it had loaded but i don't get anything like it's even trying to load. i've never had this stuff happen before.
(edit: ok now this may sound REALLY weird but i unplugged the usb portable drives that i had plugged in to the usb hub and it started itself and is staying on just as everything should be. broken computer? what broken computer? things seem to be fine at the moment, but i'll let you know if i need anything else, and thanks for replying so fast )
