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'mhaving serious hardware issues with my maindev box and it is now
completely down.
It's a fairly high end custom system(RAID, customcooling,etc) that I
built myself and hasbeen 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 thatdisplays the boot hex codes on the board as it
goes thru POST. Nothing isbeing 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 maybe theproblem.
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 theyare capable to
handle something that is notfrom 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
