Windows will not start up

Hi,

My PC will not start up Windows XP. I have had it for 5 years without any
problems, it is now the secondary PC for my kids to use. When powering on,
you can see the memory loading up, then the screen momentarily shows the
Intel processor page as normal, then a vibrating noise which I assume is the
hard disk starting up, then nothing. I opened up the PC, reseated the memory,
checked for loose connections but nothing obvious. Anybody any ideas, or is
it a trip to PC World for a new one?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

PS - I tried inserting the recovery disks but nothing happened!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
