alright, as the title says my computer is screwed up
 -to start off, i have a dell inspiron 1150 (not the best in the world) and it keeps shutting down on me. i can rarely get it to turn on (it was just working fine a couple days ago) and in order to turn it on (most of the time) the cd/dvd drive has to be open, and even then after it does boot up, if i eversomuch as touch it it will automaticaly shut of on me, i have tried many things and i can't seem to figure it out. -i was told the problem could be the motherboard and that would cost me more than the computer is worth. -i know that i will probably need another computer, but i just wanted to know if there is anything i could do to maybe try to fix this problem. -this did, like i said just happen all of a sudden, i dunno why, or if this is common. -any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreaciated, for i am not very computer savy.
