computer does not boot up, orange light, fans running

[camackid]

Hello, my pc does not boot up except the orange loading light. The CD drives and the fans are running. There seems to be 2 clicks a few seconds after loading. My PC is a Compaq Presario. I can't give all the details on the specs because i cant remeber them by heart. It has been acting liek this for a while, but I was able to boot it up by holding down the power and click again over and over. I need a quick response because this is a friend's PC and I dont want to wait for the next day.

Do you have on board video or a video card?If you have a video card i would start there .

Do you hear any beeps upon turning on the computer?

Well,  too late now, but if you return to view the thread, then you might want to check the drive. The clicks you hear are probably from the faulty HDD, which would explain why it's not able to load the OS.

Are you atleast able to see the bios screen? is the HDD detected?

It means that he found a solution or what?

A little bit of disappointment maybe...... But hey, this is a forum, we are not always in here...heheh

Goodluck to him,anyways...........
