Never mind I think...the bad sound is the fan on the video card. Reseated the card and it booted.

I had similar problem with my video card fan, kept causing weird crashes. Got it all fixed now.
Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Yes, very strange behavior. It would just sit there with the fan spinning and not booting...no HD activity at all. Some times it would start the BIOS screen and others just black. Also couldn't shut it off without unplugging!

Seems to be working now but the fan is still screaming. It's an old machine anyway, might be time to just shoot it.

Just want my backup to finish

This may explain the recent issues with my USB wireless device as well...
