Arduino Turning on issue

Whenever I try and plugin my Arduino Micro into my computer, the blue light on the back turns on but the green light begins flashing, with the flashing speeding up over the course of ~10 seconds. After that, the light simply turns off, leaving me unable to do anything with the board. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Try holding down the reset button, unplugging and plugging the USB cable, starting an upload, and releasing the Reset button only when you see the "Binary sketch size:" message.

I did this multiple times and the only result was the arduino flashed a yellow light a few times, followed by the green light flashing 3 times then turning off again
