Computer wouldn't turn on for a long time, but now does

So for the last 2 days my computer has been stuck on the ASUS motherboard screen and hung there with the messaging 'preparing automatic restart'. I could get into the bios, but I could not get into a safe mode boot. It wouldn't loop or anything, just be stuck there were the spinning circle was also frozen.

    If it's been stuck before but now turns on, ensure that all cables (especially power connections) are securely plugged in. Sometimes a loose connection can cause boot issues.
