My Quicksilver behaved the same when I turned it on accidentally without a CPU 
in it.

Various things. But you could try to open it, clean it (dust can cause short 
circuits) and then try again to start it.

If that doesn't help, I would take it all apart, clean it again, and 
reassemble only the necessary stuff (no PCI expansion cards, only on DIMM of 
RAM, CPU off course). And try again to start.

Make sure you only work on it while the power cord is pulled!

Looks like it.


Good luck!
