Default NEED HELP! Gateway GT5228 won't even boot to BIOS

Hello Everyone...

I have a gateway tower. The computer was running but when I restart it, it
won't boot. I played with the power and the front switch a few times and I
was able to get it to boot finally, but now, it won't boot at all.

It never even boots to the BIOS. I unplugged everything except the Monitor
and keyboard it still won't boot.

It's not beeping. The fan comes on, and there is a LED that blinks a few
times but then nothing else happens. The monitor says NO SIGNAL.

Does anyone have any ideas what can keep it from booting/rebooting. In the
past, I had to unplug it and leave it alone for 5 or 10 minutes before it
would boot up, but as I said, not it won't boot at all.

And one more symptom... When you plug it in, it turns on by itself, without
having to press the on button in the front of the computer.

I'm looking for ideas on where to begin to troubleshoot this issue.. All
ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...
