I have no clue on what to do here.
Here's the skinny:
I have a dell dimension 8200 thats pretty stock except for some extra RAM. It has worked fine since I have had it (it was a hand me down), and everything has been cool.
Today I tried to start it up, and it is giving me attitude. When I turn it on, it beeps at me 5 times, then beeps some more at me a little randomly, and then it just sits there. The light on the power button stays lit, but the screen never shows anything, not even the bios booting up or anything.
So i figured, what the hell, and i swapped out the video card from another computer, just to see what happens. No improvement.
Do you think that this is a hard drive failure?
I can't think of there being anything else wrong with it.
I appreciate any help. Take it easy...
