    All of a sudden in the past few days my computer wont boot on. It has this high pitched sound for like 1-2minutes and the CRT says no signal, then all of a sudden the sound will go away and the computer boots right up. If I shut down the computer and then turn it back on there is no problems its only if it sits for a while. Could it be a power suppy?? Thanks

    I'm going to see when I turn my computer on tonight if I can locate the sound. I took the side panel off so it should allow me to see whats going on. I couldnt locate it yesterday because it only happens when the computer is off for a while. I can get access to another power supply so I may try that if it isnt a fan or something.
