I think my computer is freezing over!

You know how when you're trying to start a car that's covered in snow and it does that sputtering, gasping start before it dies? That's what my computer's doing and I have no idea what the hell. The power light comes on, the fan gives a twitch, and then nothing. Press the button again, same deal. Sometimes nothing happens at all. Eventually comes on.

This morning I wasn't getting anything, not even the sputter, so I turned it on its side to open it up and pressed the power button again, and it sputtered. A few more tries and it started up.

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT IDEAL AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
