I have a G3 Platform Tower. Everything in it is pretty much updated to the latest it can, except it runs on OSX 3.9. 2 internal harddrives 100 GB and 150 GB.

The tower won't turn on. I've checked the cables and they are in there tight and supplying power. It plays the mac start-up sound, and then you hear the fans speed up, they whir to a high-pitched speed, then click, and begin the gradual speed up whirring sound, from low and slow to high and fast, over and over again. Basically it keeps rebooting but without actually starting up.

Help.
