Because your computer is happy that you are gonna let her rest.\n\nOr\n\nIts forcing a sturborn application to terminate forcefully\n\nKiss

is the laptop beeping on startup ? if not , it could be the ram thats faulty and preventing booting.Also check or take it to someone who knows what they´re doing,if you´re not sure,to have a diagnostic run on the hard drive, as hd failures are a major cause of  booting problems.you could also have had a power surge which has damaged the motherboard, in short, take the computer to a specialist or someone recommended to you, as there is a list of possibilities as long as your arm which could be causing the problem.

If you can not get the monitor to turn on with this graphics card you might want to take it out and replace the old one reconnect everything to make sure it is working. \n\nWhen you say that your computer is starting - are you sure, can you hear any beeps or anything or is it just the fan in the computer that your hearing start up. Also when you try the power button on your monitor does it blink on and off? If that is happening then your not getting a good signal from the computer to the monitor. If your just not getting anything to the monitor then I would definitely check and double check your connections.\n\nSilly as it sounds it could be the surge strip plug you have it in is bad. - Been there done that myself.

Turn it off first if you care for your laptop..

It's system hibernates.  It means your computer shuts down the hard drive and monitor to save electricty, but is still on and will "wake up" when you hit a key or move the mouse.\n-MM

could be a hardware or heat related condition. if the fan for the cpu stops working, the cpu will get too hot and the computer will shut it's self down.

Try going into the Control Panel, and selecting Power Management.  There might be an option in there to change what the computer does when the "lid" is closed.

Your Motherboard has a small Lithium battery which allows the clock ticking even when you shutdown your computer..\n\nOnce it exhausts.. all you have to replace it and then again setup the time...it wont vanish now!\n\nRead a detailed article regarding how to replace the battery at: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/81\n\nIf replacing a battery doesnt solve your problem...you may have to upgrade your Motherboard CMOS by flashing it...\nContact DELL Service Center for this..\nBut..mostly battery replacement solves the problem in 99% cases..

the beep is to tell you that the keyboard buffer is full.\n\nif your computer is busy with an activity, any keypresses in the mean time are saved in memory to be replayed back once that activity is finished - once that area of memory is full with keypresses to be played back, it beeps to let you know.\n\nnot alot of people know that :)

If this is your hard drive, you should TURN OFF the power.   That sound could be from the hard drive, and you have little time left.  Save your data and make backups, then get a new drive.   \n\nGood luck

Probably because of an anti-virus program. Disable it before shutting down. Enable it again on startup.

Your computer may be getting too hot.  Perhaps you could try adding another fan and see if it cools things enough so that the noise goes away.  Also, it is important to find a quiet fan!  You can get assistance with all of that at a computer specialty store....

ATX type computers always have power being supplied to the motherboard. This is a standby voltage, it is what lets you turn your computer on form the power on button in the front. \n\nI believe you are worried that it isn't turned off because you can see lights in the back of the computer flashing. This is cause of that. Dell I know is one manufacture that dose this. All you have to do is shutdown the computer and turn off the monitor for it to be turned off.
