I am the technology coordinator for a small parochial school. We have purchased approximately 30 of these very same dimension 3000 computers. After a summer off, I came back to the same problem on several of the computers. I was able to get a few going and when they did the error message was that the computer had a thermal event. I have others, that simply wont start now. The yellow light being the only sign of life besides 4 blinks of the CD ROM drive. Absolutely no processor activity.

If there is anyone that can help, I would appreciate it very much.

Note: This happened after an approx. 3 month shut down for summer.
