Start Up Problem

For the last few days when I have turned on my PC in the morning it doesn't start up. The fan is running but the monitor does not come on. The only way I can turn my PC off is to pull the plug. I then turn it on and it works. It only seems to hapen once it has been off overnight.
Can anyone please help.
Thanks

Had this problem on old machines. Sometimes caused by the hard disk not coming up to speed very quickly. Probably worth having a listen to it (and a backup) though I haven't seen disks fail - just require the restart as you are seeing.0

Does the PC Beep at you on start-up?
If not...it means the PC is failing to 'POST'. If a PC doesnt POST, it means the Cpu/Motherboard/Graphics card/Memory/PSU has failed. But clearly if it works after a few goes...something odd is going on.0 -
The Dell support docs are useful, hth: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dim2350/advanced.htm#12180790
