Hello everyone,
In the recent weeks I noticed and abundance of dust building up on my fans and inside my tower. I have not cleaned out the dust for a while now so i decided to do it today. I opened my tower up and cleaned some of the dust out being careful and whatnot. When i closed my tower plugged everything in and turned it on. It loads (green light lights up) however it doesnt work, the moniter stays on 'standby' and the fans seem like they are going crazy. The fans could just be because there is no more dust but i dont know. If anyone could help me to get my computer working it would be helpful. BTW: When i press the power button it immediately turns off so i know something isnt right. It seems like i just have power but nothing is working. HELP!
I have a dell dimension 8400 with Windows XP!
edit: oh and it beeps a couple times when i start it up and the light on the d drive flashes a couple times too
edit x 2: I did take the RAM chip out as i was planning on buying new ram and wanted to see which i had... could that be the problem? Now when i clip it in, one side doesnt seem to clip in very well
