My guess is power supply bit the bucket. Get a psu tester and give it a try.

Since you get a beep with no RAM, it sounds like the processor is working. That would indicate that the power supply is good. But it would depend on when the beep happens. If it is after you press the power button then standby power is working and the processor is starting up to run the BIOS.

So my guess is that the video portion of the motherboard has died.

What exact DELL PC?

Look inside the case to make sure there are no loose cards or wires lying on anything they shouldn't be. Make sure all chips are securely fitted into their slots. If need be...use twist-ties to make sure the wiring stays away from vital hardware and chips. Also, it might be a good idea to make sure the pc is free of dust-bunnies. Nothing will shut down a pc faster than a cpu full of dust.

**Caution** If you need to blow dust out of the cpu fan, make sure the fan itself remains stationary...especially when using canned air. The fans can only take so much spinning before they go out. So hold the fan in place with your finger while you blow the gunk out.

Good luck...
