Hi,
Damaged hardware is the most likely explanation if it is sticking on the
POST. It is not unusual for a new component to fail in the first few
months - 'tis why there are warranties. First thing I would do is run memory
and hard drive diagnostics, and swap in a known-good power supply. If all
those come up ok, then I'd look to either the processor or motherboard. The
latter will often show swollen or leaky capacitors if it's gone bad, check
carefully with a strong flashlight.
