XPS Startup Problems
I have recently started to hear a very loud buzzing noise coming from inside my XPS, and because it was getting on my nerves, i held my knee against the side which stopped the noise. However, now whenever i try to turn it on, nothing happens. Absolutely nothing. The fans start, the cd drives start (not sure if the hard disc starts) and then i hear 3 loud beeps, there is no signal to the monitor or keyboard and to say the least im a bit concerned. It is an XPS Gen5 with 3.4ghz processor and 1gb ram, 1 cd-drive, 1 dvd-drive, 160Gb Harddrive and a 6800 gfx card and an Audigy2 ZX soundcard, i cant tell you anything else as the thing wont actually start.
Any advice would be appreciated
