Help! My Dell desktop computer crashed!?
The other day my computer was working completely fine. The next morning I try to turn it on (it's a dell desktop) and it won't boot up. Instead, the power button is an amber/orange color (instead of the regular green) and the fanning is getting progressively louder. Nothing shows up on the monitor. Please help!

We can't directly answer your question without the actual PC Model Number.
However, on many Dell's, such as the Dimension E510/5150 models, a flashing amber power light indicates a power supply failure.
What Dell Power Button Lights Mean
A solid green light means the computer is operating normally.
A solid yellow light indicates the power supply is operating normally but the computer is not processing data. This could mean there is a problem with the CPu or another component on the motherboard.
A blinking yellow light indicates the power supply is receiving power from the wall, but not functioning properly. This generally means the power supply itself is bad and should be tested or replaced.
A blinking green light means the computer is in standby mode.
