    Hi all
    I'm having a big problem here
    My computer is a Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo P
    And i have it for about 2 years now
    Its working great didnt have much problems with it
    Until i got on vacation and came back
    I wanted to boot up my comp and it didnt do anything
    It just went on all the fans where spinning and he didnt boot up
    I couldnt get into setup/bios all i could was open the 2 dvd rom drives

    After 1000 times of turning it on and off
    I could get into the bios system temperature was 50 degrees
    Dont know if that is too hot
    But i opened up my comp breaking the warranty seal cause it was over by now and cleaned all
    After that i could boot from my recovery dvd
    Woopie i thought everything was going to be fine
    I made new partitions and he formatted my C drive
    Point is after formatting he needed to reboot to install windows
    That was the last time i saw my computer boot up from my dvd
    Point is he doesnt boot at all AGAIN

    After leaving the power off for the night i tried it again this morning to boot him up
    He got to the Fujitsu Siemens logo and i pressed DEL like a mad man
    Maybe i needed to reset bios settings or something
    But he doesnt want to enter
    When he does gets to the Fujitsu Siemens logo i only hear one beep
    And sometimes i hear a weird clicking sound

    Maybe someone knows whats going on with my computer
    If so i'll be very gratefull
    I hope this info is helpfull enough and that someone can help me

    Thanks for reading

    a weird clicking sound... can you describe it? There may be a fault with your hard disk that's preventing the PC from getting past P.O.S.T.

    Like a couple of krr krr sounds
    But it doesnt always make those clicking sounds just one time
    But after the fujitsu siemens logo comes on it freezes
    So fast i cant even enter Bios
    Which troubles me
    Also last time i checked temperature (After cleaning it)
    Btw what is POST?

    Would it help to take out my HDD and put it back in?

    Thanks for the reply

    try taking out your hard disk altogether, if it's the cause of the problem the PC will at least get as far as the BIOS.

    POST = power on self test, the part of the BIOS you see every time you turn your PC on.
