Are you confident enough to go inside and check your connections? maybe do a little cleaning as well (canned air). If your Hard Drive is the older IDE ribbon type connector, sometimes removing and re-attaching it at both ends will clean the connections enough to get it going again. Same with the memory as mentioned above. If you have more than one memory stick installed, you can also try running with just one in the first slot and then the other stick to isolate a bad one. Next would be to test your drive with the manufacturers boot utility if possible.
