when i turn the power on the fans spin up then it beeps from inside the case. Nothing happens at all just a few beeps then it just sits there with the fans running, on the mother board there is an amber LED which is on until i unplug the power supply and when i try and start up the computer another green LED comes on. Thats it just the fans, those LED's and the beeps, oh and the cd & dvd trays will open and close but nothing else.

Thank you in advance

"A few beeps" is the message telling you the problem. The Dell service manual tells you what the beep sequence means. It also tells you what the LEDs mean. You can also find this stuff on:

How old is the machine?
The yellow LED is just a indicator of power to the system.
How many beeps do you get?
