When you push the power button the green light on the case comes on but the other light just flashes once and nothing happens, tried swaping out the hard drive and same problem still there. I have no idea what the problem is? I though about switching out the power source but when you plug in the cord a little green light turns on on the mother board. ive unpluged everthing from the motherboard and hooked it all back up and its still not working.It may have something to do with viruses because ive had them before.
First of all try to connect the system spkr to its pannel at the edge of the main board, push the power on if a beep is heard continuesly then u should chek your RAM ( unpositioned properly or defected) un continioues beeping is a sign of something wrong with ur vga card. try to clear cmos by changing jumper setting near the main board battery. A defected cpu could cause this too. with respect to the notebook try to chek the CPU and RAM .
I doubt it's a virus, you will need to illiminate it is a damaged power supply as it would still light the board but maybe not enough to power the cpu. The processor itself may be at fault, although you should still get the fan powering up then a shut down. Lastly and hopefully it is your CMOS battery that requires replacing as if this is flat you will get no start up.

My problem sounds similar. I have a MX6453 Gateway notebook, almost a year old. When I press the power button, the green light around the button goes on momentarily and so does the blue and or pink lights in the front. When this first started to happen, after leaving it alone for a day or night, it powered up just fine but didn't last for more than an hour or so. After calling Gateway a few times, they agreed to let me send it back for repair. However, they returned it with the note: "Can not duplicate (customer claimed not reproducible)" and NFT (No Trouble Found)." Shortly thereafter, the same problem surfaced but after a few on and offs, it failed to power on at all. I called Gateway again and much to my surprise, they told me the motherboard was "broken" and because it was not a manufacturing defect, it would cost $500 to repair. The service rep told me that the problem was a result of something I did to the machine. Although I explained that it had already been returned for the same problem, he would not reconsider. What's 's going on here?
