I have been using my computer for a few months now, but all of a sudden today when I try to turn it on, it powers up but doesn't boot and then turns off and then back on, over and over. I have't changed anything between it working last night and not working this morning. What could be the problem?

Something else you may try is clearing the CMOS/BIOS via the jumper that's located on the board. If you do this just be sure to go into your BIOS afterwards, validate boot settings and time/date, leave everything else set to defaults and go from there. Hopefully that will correct your issue, if not then the link that Rasbir provided is more than likely your best place to start.

Has anything changed recently? Updating BIOS or adding any new hardware? What you describe is called a "boot loop" if you wanted a search term.

yeah so its basically boot looping as Razor said. So id try a CMOS clear to start. Then after that you gotta start a long list of troubleshooting. Such as resitting components. checking power supply etc
