[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1171448, member: 56379"] Two possibilities: - The flashing "?" means there's no OS installed on the hard drive. - The "ticking" sound could mean that the hard drive is damaged/dead...which would also give you the flashing "?" In either case you're going to need an OS install disk...and possibly a new hard drive. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
