Ditto, I've replaced (or retired) literally hundreds of GX260's for bulging/defective capacitors on the main-board. The machines would start with intermittent hanging then eventually fail altogether. The caps start to bulge out on the top, sometimes leaking like an old battery.

Some of the older Dells use a proprietary pin-out on the PS connector. It's the SAME connectors, but wired differently. LOOK at the colors going to what pins if you choose to test this theory. If it this type, you'll smoke a PS tester if you plug it into it. Bulging Caps ( a well know issue with Old Dells) on the MB could be a sign of unclean power too. My 2 cents :-)
