Boot up problem
Computer is a Dell XPS 420 bought in April 2008. This fault has just started where on boot up after showing the usual displays eg. maker's name etc after microsoft screen with the bar with strobing effect the screen goes blank and then nothing happens.
The light showing the hard drive goes very faint showing a little activity. The computer has a mini-view screen on the main case which works ok...but I have to shut down...and try again after a few minutes. Took three attempts to fully boot up this time. Only worked after switching off at the mains
Just doing a full scan but is it a hard disk fault?
