My computer was norty last week and I did a system restore to a
day before. It did not work too well so I did a week restore
and now it's fine.
When I turned it on, all it would do was ping ping ping noise.

You're lucky that a system restore worked! "Ping-ping-ping" (or
"beep-beep-beep") is usually an error signal from POST (Power On
Self Test), and can be a sign of a serious hardware fault.
