Dell PC - won't turn on

Hi My PC has just stopped working. It's making a loud noise - sounds like the fan - any idea what I could try?

Nothing - just a loud noise - sounds like the fan - and the power light stays amber...

Something has overheated methinks. I've seen that on quite a few Dell's before and it's been traced back to a motherboard failure on almost every occasion.
