I have a 5 year old Dell Dimension 4500. When I power up the computer, there is this weird whirring sound and the lights on the DVD and CD player blink. They make a weird noise as well. The monitor or the keyboard never come on. Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
the whrring noise is probably comming from your hard drive...the lights on the cd/dvd blink because they are looking for another boot option...I think its time for a new hard drive
