Problem, cant get desktop to appear
My aunt has a OPTIPlex 270 I believe, recently it froze while printing, and I had her unplug it to shut off. When turn on it seems you see the name Dell an model number an the bar graph fill, but dont get a desktop, but do hear for a few seconds a high pitch ringing out of top of tower. I then took this to a technition, but it worked fine for him. I brought it home an still works same, I did buy a new monitor, no difference. I unhooked tower an took to my residence and tried tower, windows starts as normal when used . Once again I took back to my aunt's an still windows does not appear when hooked up at her place. Seems to act up only at owners location? I used a simply electrical meter to check household electrical current, it said it was 118 volts. Help, jrhxxxx

jhrxxxx,
Startup the computer and tap F8
Try using last good known configuration first and see if it starts.
