My desktop PC is 6 years old.Suddenly it wont start up.I get the motor running and I can hear the fans going but nothing else.On the front of the computer are 2 lights next to the reset button.One shows a luminated lightbulb and a green light,this is on.The other shows a clyinder and an orange light ,this is not working.I have rather bravely gone into the tower and checked for dust and that all conections are securely pushed in but that's the limit of my abilities.Can anyone help? I'm using a public computer so will have to check back tomorrow for replies.Thanks.
