Why can't my phone get past the first screen?

[AC Question]

Why can't my phone get past the first screen.

When it starts to boot it turns off. I tried a new battery, letting it charge over night but it goes to the my touch screen then shuts down.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Is it a MyTouch phone? Those are fairly dated, so the motherboard might be failing.
