Second, is the sound coming from within the computer or in the speakers? If it's coming from inside the computer, it probably is a failing hard drive. If it isn't a bad HD, it may be a bad logic board.
The sound is coming from the PC itself.

Probably an overheated problem, but you said you turned it off yourself. So I doubt that.

Anyways on the back of the desktop there is a switch. Flip it then flip it back.
It was just one little beep and the sound of the fan. It's the same sound it makes when you first turn on your computer. However, it only lasts about one second before it shuts back off.

I already tried the switch flip thing. No success.

Had a recent bad experience with Dell and their support nightmare. Never buying a Dell again.
It won't power on at all.

Dell support is a nightmare. That's why I came here first.
