Weird noises when turning on Dimension E510
I hibernated my Dimension E510 for about a hour and when I went to turn it back on, it made a weird shrieking noise that I haven't heard before and on the screen was black with only the text dell.com on it. After about a minute or so, the noise would disappear and everything is back to normal with windows xp loading and I am able to use it. I tried restarting and turning off the computer but it would do the exact same thing. This never happened before and it only started today when I tried to turn it on after hibernating it. Thank you.

Try running diagnostic's "Extended" [not the express] test on the system.
Turn on [or restart] your computer.
When the DELL logo appears, press F12 immediately.
If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop. Then shut down your computer and try again.
When the boot device list appears, highlight Boot to Utility Partition and press "Enter".
When the Dell Diagnostics Main Menu appears, select the test you want to run.
