OK I was gonna start a new thread but as this one covers the issue I'll post to it.
My other computer is a PC and last night I turned it on and I heard the first bleep as usual and the monitor showed the usual icons. But then at the next bleep - that bleep just got stuck and sounded like a ringing bell and the screen went black and just that ringing sound!
The Monitor light goes to blue which is normal and does that when the machine is booted up anyway. But the screen is black.
Now if I press the CD Rom reset button the ringing sounds stops and it starts to re-boot but after the first graphics again it goes back to the repeated bleep that sounds like a bell! So it's obviously stuck for some reason?
Anybody got any ideas? Could it be the CD Rom is malfunctioned? I never use that much anyway.
Any suggestions,
I was on the verge of getting rid of it but there are some photos on it and documents that I would like to get off before scrapping it.
