Can anyone help with a Dell 9100 problem?

Hi Guys,

I have a Dell 9100 desktop that, without warning, is not starting. When switched on the switch light shows green, the fan on (what I believe is the graphics card) runs, the green LED on the main board the other components are fitted to is on and there is a peculiar noise (find it hard to described probably a loud buzz) which can be heard for a couple of seconds at a time and will come and go for maybe 15 seconds. The noise seems to be coming from somewhere on the main board which is fiited vertically to the casing. Nothing shows on the monitor, generally the monitor (Dell) power switch changes from amber to green on start up, however it stays amber with the monitor remaining blank.

Thanks in anticipation,

BB
