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,
