G4 Os9 - Screen Not Coming Up

[Dan King]

Hey guys, I need some help. i recently purchased a G4 desktop running os9, after booting it up the fan runs really fast and i can;t see the screen. I have tested the monitor and tried restarting in different ways. It hasn't been started up in a year - i bought it from my work as it came with pro tools for audio recording. Can someone help me get th screen up as i think i could be caught at a date and time page or something - that might be giving the fan a bit of a reason to speed up.

HELP - (I sadly am a new PC convert)

Cant say about the fast fan,better hope the power supply's not shot...change the pram battery, it keeps the video settings etc when the power is off.
