Emachines C2825 Will Not Power Up.

C drive is about 3/4 full. Computer froze, curser unresponsive several times. Power down from switch at front. Came up. Next morning found it power down and would not power up from switch (dead as if no power to computer). Checked power switch at back of computer, found in on position. Checked power cord found 122v into computer. Unpluged cord, turned switch at back to on position and cycled switch in front. Connected power cord, no response from front switch (swith in back on). What is the red slider switch under the power cord connection do? One side "15" the other "230. Which correct? No LED lights on next to back power switch. Any ideas why computer won't power up?

First, do not mess with the red switch. It changes voltage for 120V - US, 240V - Euro. Wrong voltage can fry unit. Second, what size is your hard drive? (3/4 full could mean insufficient drivespace) Third, asking what is wrong is like asking a doctor on the phone what is wrong, he can't see you, he doesn't know your history, he can't guess. You need to make more data about your PC available.
