Default Car Wont Start

Im having a problem starting my car, I tried to start it but nothing happened, like if the battery was dead, I tried jump starting the car but that did no good, but i noticed that whenever I try starting the car a security light keeps flashing, does anyone know what this could be?

Take out the key, let the car sit for a while, and try starting it. its a vats problem. If that dont work get your Id, copy of your title, and go to your local gm dealership and get a new key cut.

Yes, for some reason your car isnt disabeling the vats which is cutting ecm power. Check your fuses also.
