The advise of check the PSU is the
easiest to test, especially if you have a spare. Bad PSU's can do
all kinds of weird stuff. Test by using another PSU.
ONE WORD OF CAUTION: SOME DELL PSU's are not wired the normal
way. If your system is one of them, and you put in a standard
PSU, you CAN destroy the PSU AND the MB. Be careful about that.
Check online if you think you may have a DELL MB/PSU,

Hi All,
I'm having serious hardware
issues with my main dev box and it
is now completely down.
It's a fairly high end custom
system (RAID,
custom cooling, etc) that I
built myself
and has been quite
stable for several years.
The box powers up and the LEDs on
the motherboard light. But
it never reaches POST.
The M/B has an LED that displays the
boot hex
codes on the board as it
goes thru POST. Nothing is being
displayed.
I've tried pulling
out
the video
card and
disconnecting
all the peripherals,
but that didn't
help.
I'm
thinking that
the
motherboard
may
be the
problem.
I'd
like to take
it in
for
service
to have it
properly
diagnosed.
Does anyone know
of
any
good hardware
repair
places
in town?
I was thinking
of
Data Doctors,
but don't know
if they
are
capable to
handle something
that is not
from
a
major manufacturer.
Is
Fry's
Electronics
any good?
Any
help would be
most appreciated.
And
the faster the
better.
:)
Thanks
for your help.
Peter
