Hi. Hopefully I am posting this in the right forum. I have a problem with my Dell XPS 625. Here's the story.

I got the PC from a friend for free as he was having problems with files being deleted from his hard drive randomly. I replaced the hard drive and have had no problems whatsoever. Just in the past two weeks though I recently moved house, so I packed away the computer and transported it my self for fear of anyone else damaging it. It has been unplugged for about 3wks and just on Saturday I managed to get round to setting it up again. I switched it on and it fired into life. Only problem was, it did not go though POST, no beeps came from it and nothing is displayed through the monitor.

After turning it off and on again, short constant beeps came from it but it still did nothing. I then went in search for solutions on Google and have tried them. I unplugged and resat everything. Nothing. I removed the ram to see if it was that. Nothing. No beeps to even say there was no ram in the machine. I have even changed the cmos battery to see if that would make a difference. Nothing. The only other solutions left to me, I think, is geting a new PSU.

If anyone has any advice or has encountered this problem before, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Could strip it & build it out the case on your desk with minimal hardware, looks like you've tried everything else.
I bought myself a PSU Tester for 10 quid a few weeks back, Cheap way of finding out whether the PSU is dead or not without forking out for a new one.
 
Have you checked over the motherboard for any damaged or loose components OR any foreign bodies shorting/touching contacts/components together?

EDIT: what 4T5 said - strip it out and rebuild on your desk with minimal components and see what happens :)

Hi. Thanks for the help. I will try the suggestions. My only problem is there are no on board graphics. As long as I here the right noises though, that shouldn't be to important. Thanks
