Dell PC blinking yellow

I reset the bios and reflush Dell the PSU and MB( because some voltage
still left over even though I completely turned off the system as some
online user recommend) and tried again it was working again. I thought I
fixed finally but the next morning I turned on again this time it is
completely dead. But the PSU still ok and the MB is ok too. I am using
24-pin other PSU and no problem.
Only adjustment is I converted 4-pin PATA pinout to 15-pin SATA (since
this PSU only has 2 SATA cable) and the strange thing is Windows reported
SATA drive as PATA drive I guess since the 3.3V orange wire is
unconnected.
I read, a long time ago, that holding the power button in after isolating
the power, drains the charge in the capacitors.
Whether this is true, I don't know, but I've done it ever since.
