It's a mini ATX I believe, and now it is making even louder noises. Not only that, but the power light does not function when the computer is booted. There is also no video output and after boot the HDD no longer functions. This system has lasted me almost 10 years now and I don't want it to die now. Any ideas?

I had a emachine 500id and that lasted me a good 5-6 years before it just started getting really tired and ready to die.
