    It would be helpful if instead of simply saying my computer, you gave us information like desktop or notebook, brand and model, what version of windows you are running as well as service packs installed. When did the problem first occur? Did you do any updates or install new programs or hardware?
    Do you mean flash the BIOS?
    At this point, flashing the BIOS is the last thing you want to do. You first need to get the computer to boot up and if it doesn't, you need to solve that problem first.

    Can you get into the BIOS? Possible keys to try: del, F1, F2, F3, F10, F11 depending on the make and model of computer.

    I think badbwoi means reset the BIOS. Extrapolating from the mention of FN I assume this is a laptop.

    Have a look under the panel(s) on the bottom of the computer for a button cell battery

    that you may be able to pop out, or a pair of pins labelled BIOS reset or clear CMOS. What ever version of reset you have, make sure the laptop is off, unplugged from the charger and take the battery out. If you have the battery, pop it out for 1 minute then replace it. If you have the pins, short them with a screwdriver for 10 seconds then remove the screwdriver. Then put the battery back and try booting.

    It may be that the laptop does not have a method of resetting the BIOS like this. If it doesn't then post back and I will look for another method.
