Second possibility: Failed motherboard. Third possibility: Failed graphics card or on-board subsystem, especially because the standard graphics delivered with the system uses a typically hot-running nVidia graphics chip, prone to failure from excessive heat. Other possibilities are all pretty remote. Those are the big three. .... Ben Myers

Hi!
What color is the power button LED? Do any numbers (1, 2, 3, 4 or any combination) light up and stay on in the area near the front USB ports and headphone/microphone plugs? William

Hi!
The on button has a yellow led light in it that goes on. That is an indication of: 1. Power supply failure. 2. A problem with a card in the expansion slots 3. A bad or damaged motherboard. William

Tom Pull the power plug from the rear of the tower and press the power button to dissipate all power from the system and system board (say, 5 seconds). Plug back in and attempt power up again. Your scenario is likely a system board failure - http://www.pctechbytes.com/dell-power.htm
