im only guessing here, but possibly something to do with the hard drive failing?

i had a similar experience last summer when i turned my computer on, the fan would wizz about and id hear 2 beeps and a message popped up about something to do with a master boot and secondary boot... it turned out that the hard drive crashed and as soon as i replaced it, it worked perfectly.

not getting any error messages or display at all. Could motherboard or processor died be possibilities too? Prob have to get someone to look at it i suspect

there were no beeps. Taken it to a shop near where i live. Guy reckons it is either a faulty motherboard or processor, but he hasn't got spare processor to test, and i should call back in tomorrow when he should know more.
