All in one computer keeps overheating. Now won't turn on

My HP all in one Touchsmart 310 computer has been overheating for the past month. I would shut it down as soon as I hear it (the fan I think) run really loud. Yesterday (July 14th) it was getting loud so I shut it down and I waited for it to cool down. When it was cooled down I went to turn it on and nothing happened. The button didn't light up. I checked the back where the power cord is plugged in and the green light was on showing it was getting power I guess. I read online somewhere to unplug the power cord and hold in the power button for 10 seconds then plug it back in. I did that and the power light flashed a couple of times but the computer didn't start up. Is my computer toast now. I've only had this computer for 3 years and it's been sent to HP twice I think in that time. I had an extended warranty on it but now the warranty has expired. Should I spend the money to have it fixed or just buy a new computer. I was thinking awhile back to buy a new computer now that windows 10 is coming out. I was getting the free windows 10 download for the computer that doesn't work. I noticed on the all in one computer there are no screws on it whatsoever. So I wouldn't be able to open it up to see if it needed cleaning inside. I tried awhile back to clean it through the vents with a straw but no dust was coming out of it. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible. I can't live without my computer. I'm using an iPad mini to type this and it's not the same as having my all in one computer.

Thanks King_Penguin it worked! I'm curious though, if these are signs of a bigger issue that I should take into the Apple store for further investigation. Or is this just a quirk of the iPad? I've been having the crashing issues consistently for about a month. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hello m.goo, and a warm welcome to the forums!
To eject the Disc, hold the Mouse button down, (or what passes for it on a Laptop), while powering up, if you also hold the Option key down at the same time it should eject & give you a chance to insert your install disc & wait for it to shw as a Boot option.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc , then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
If it appears to be time for An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, APPs, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

Try here:

Alos, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPOd so you can restore it via iTunes. For recovery modes see:

Apple suggest a removal and re-install of iTunes to get over the 1601 / 1602 error message.
Other sites suggest trying a different USB socket… direct to the PC / Mac not a hub.
edit to add usb info.

Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

The screen keeps refreshing and It won't let me do anything

I understand that the screen on your notebook computer keeps refreshing and it will not let you do anything. Are you able to boot your computer into Safe Mode without your computer freezing? If so, does the screen stop refreshing itself? I would be happy to help you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer. Below is a is an HP Support document that will demonstrate how to find your computer's product number.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

my computer keeps freezing and i dont know whats wrong, or why it keeps freezing

It's happening on FIrefox too. It's not a browser issue! I have tried all, Chrome, FIrefox and IE and it freezes after about 5 minutes sometimes sooner, sometimes you get a little longer, but not much.

Three beeps at startup almost always indicate bad RAM. You probably need to get your RAM replaced. Bring it in to Apple for a definitive diagnosis if you are unable to run the Apple HardwareTest

there might be two of the same song, or they might be closely related in some way, (maybe the title..) that it is confusing the ipod. YOu might have not enough space on your ipod for the songs.

new iPhone 5c keeps beeping and the screen just stays black?

Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

My Mac Pro starts up when I turn on the power, BEFORE I switch it on with the button, why? Plus, my computer keeps freezing and blacking out.

My Mac Pro starts up when I turn on the power supply (when I plug it to the outlet), BEFORE I switch on the button on the computer, why is this happening? Plus, my computer keeps freezing and blacking out and I'm forced to restart it, that's when the compter starts on its own when I turn on the power.

Hello Engender,
I should have followed up with a progress report because I eventually eliminated all the problems I was having with my Mac Pro, now it's behaving like a new computer… beautifully. I did originally take Grant's advice above, changing the setting that I had in the System Preferences > Energy Saver but that only stopped from rebooting on its own when I shut down my Mac properly. Otherwise it continued to restart on its own after freezing or crushing when I switched on the power. I took my machine to the Apple Store and after many tests they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I was very depressed about the whole business.
It was after going onto many of the other Apple related websites that I discovered that it wasn't a faulty power switch or fan, as as I originally thought, but found out that my problem was related to the Graphic Card and possibly I did not have enough ram (I had the original amount of 2 GB). The original card that came with the computer: 512 MB ATI Radeon X1900 XT was over heating and forcing my machine to shut down, I think it was because I had upgraded to OSX Lion which on its own requires at least 2 GB of ram to operate well. I added 4 GB of Ram to the 2GB I had (4GB kit (2GBx2), Apple 240-pin FBDIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300 upgrades for Apple Mac Pro (4-core) 1st Gen. - 2006-2007 Desktop/PC, CT579443 from Crucial.com about $160 for the set) and replaced the Graphic Card with ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB from Apple (around $260), (ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro (Mid 2010) - Apple Store (U.S.)) This card works very well with my original Mac Pro 2008. I installed it about two weeks ago and no problem with it starting on its own, over heating or freezing. OSX Lion works well and I'm thinking of upgrading to Mountain Lion once I learn that my Mac Pro 1.1 will work with the new hardware I installed.
Your problem could just be the power cord but I agree with you that doesn't sound right, when I mentioned faulty switch I meant the part where the power cord meets the power button, the unit which houses the power distribution, I thought at first that it could be faulty but changed my mind because of the computer overheating.
I don't know if this is of any help to you but I hope your trouble will be solved with the new cord.

My iPhone suddenly turned off by itself and it won't turn back on, what to do?

So I was just texting with my iPhone (with 35% battery life) earlier and when I check my phone again 5 mins later, it completely turned off. So, I tried holding the sleep/lock botton on top + the Home button (for more than 10 sec) and it won't turn on.
So I tried plugging my iPhone to the wall-adapter charger and it turned on (with a 100% battery life?), but seems like all my settings have been resetted and I was advised to connect with iTunes. Then I unplugged my iPhone and plug it onto my computer to sync. I waited, the apple logo comes up and then it turns off again, logo comes up and turns off again (constantly doing that and it's not going anywhere).
Did my whole iPhone battery just died or something? I repeated the process and whenever I unplug the phone from the wall-charger, my phone completely turns off. When I plug it with my usb-to-computer, the apple logo comes up and goes. Any one can help?

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.
