it doenst start normally. i have to turn the switch in the back on and off while pressing the normal front power button continuously. i sometimes do this for 5-15 minutes. sometimes it turns on and sometimes it doesnt. idk wat the frickin problem is. can anyone help ???? plz

yes sir i can help k look your system has a bad hard drive usually if you have a big one it takes for ever to turn on if you have lots of stuff on it , but if you take a look at youre cpu it could either be extremly slow or it could be very bad mabey wrecked also youre power buttons have wires in the back they could be bad or they could be twisted ... check that out hopefully that helped..

yep. it sounds like your hard drive is failing. best bet. buy a new one. any data you want from the other one should be transferd easily. if you have any trouble then there is an old myth that if you put it in the freezer overnight then it should work like a dream for about 20 minutes to recover any data.

Did it ever work OK?

Assuming it is still under warranty have you considered returning it?

Contrary to the previous posts this is most likely not a hard drive issue but a Power Supply problem or a wiring short on your motherboard.

Unless you are into opening it up and testing the Power Supply I would recommend using your warranty which will most likely be void if you open it yourself.
