What has happened to my laptop?

When it first broke it turned on for a few seconds, got to the Acer screen and switched off. It kept on doing this until I held the power button to switch it off. Now it won't turn on at all unless it is charging, but still does the same thing. I might have burnt it out as I played minecraft on it too much. I also tried safe start up but it switches off before it gets there.
