every time i turn on the computer...the computer doesn't start right away...
it turns on for about 2 seconds then shuts off..i have to plug and unplug the computer many times before it actually completely turns on and stays on...
there doesn't seem to be anything wrong or weird with the computer besides that...no viruses or anything...
i used to leave my computer on for many days...i was on vacation and turned it off and haven't used it much since...

maybe it wasn't a good idea to leave the computer running for a long time?
wut do i do to fix the problem with the computer from turning on?

you can replace the caps, but unless you know what you are doing and are handy with a soldering iron, I wouldn't recommend it.
