If it's not getting through POST, then it's not a virus. (Although BIOS virii are theoretically possible, in practice they're exceedingly rare.)
Your first chore will be to get into the BIOS settings and make sure "quick boot" or "fast boot" is disabled (which it should NEVER be enabled). You might have to go the website of the computer or motherboard manufacturer to figure out how to do this. Once quick boot is off, you can see how the POST is going. It may flag something bad in the memory or other hardware.
If you can get through POST and it fails to boot the operating system, I'd create a bootable CD or USB drive and see if it will boot to that. You may need to change the boot order in your BIOS so CD or USB is ahead of the normal boot device (typically C:).
For a bootable CD or USB, my preference is to burn a Linux "live CD". A good choice is Knoppix, which you can download at the link below. If your PC will boot at all, it will probably boot Knoppix.

Using bolts to draw the two halves together will damage the PTO
