I SWITHCED ON THE MACHINE YESTERDAY. IT ATTEMPTED TO START UP. NORMAL START UP NOISES HAPPENED FOR 15 SECONDS OR SO THEN IT SORT OF MADE A CLUNK CLUNK SOUND, BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RE BOOT AGAIN.
THE SCREEN SAID OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND.
I SWITCHED OFF AT POWER SOUCRE, WAITED A WHILE AND THEN TRIED AGAIN. SAME RESULT.

Check CMOS is finding hard drive at POST (power on self test) if present then is the boot sequence set correctly. Is cpu fan running, is hdd and cd/dvd devices running? Is there a display on screen, if yes what does it say ?
Check ribbon cable to hdd from motherboard is good, replace with a known good one and try booting again. Come back with results, for more support.
