Dell Dimension 4600 won't boot, 6 beeps
If anyone could offer any advice, I'd really appreciate it...When I turn on the computer there is a series of 6 beeps, and it won't boot up. The diagnostic lights in the back, A and C are green, and B and D are orange(?) The machine is running. But after the beeps there is just nothing. I replaced the power source, still no good. This happened for a couple of wks, but eventually it booted, I'm not that lucky anymore.

You should note the sequence of the beeps as this is a diagnostic aid. the Light code indicates a expansion card possible failure which could be a video, sound or some such card plugged into the mother board.
so listen to the beeps and see if it backs up the light code.
