System will not boot

Hi
 
My system has been working fine for a while now but this morning when I turned it on it sounded normal to start with but then the fan kicked in really loudly and nothing was appearing on the monitor. The front panel shows a green 2 and a green 4 but I don't know what this means and technical support is closed at the weekend so any ideas what this might be and what I could try to fix it?
 
I have tried unplugging all usb devices and starting again but the same thing happens and it was shut down normally last night.

    It says in my post that I am using a Dimension E520. There are no CD's in the drive, or cards in the card reader and I don't have floppy drive. My system is plugged into a surge protected power strip but as I said it has been working fine until this morning and there is no indication on the surge protector that anything is wrong with it. Nothing is displayed on the monitor.

    We need more information.
    What Dell comptuer are you having problems with? Like Dimension 9200...?
    Are you using a surge protector?
    Are there any CD's in the optical drives, or any memory devices in the card reader?
    Is there a floppy in the floppy drive?
    What comes up on the display monitor?

    OGOG diagnostic lights means there's a graphics problem.

    Try reseating the graphics card. If this fails to correct the error, try a different PCIe card or use the intergrated graphics.
