I was trying to install Linux RedHat 8.0 when suddenly the server restarted. The monitor showed the DELL logo but the BIOS check bar stopped without finished. I restarted the server again but the monitor did not display anything and it led just blinked in ambar.

What could be the problem?, the monitor is OK and all the leds (hard disk and system) are green but I can see anything... and I can't boot from CD either.

Thanks for your HELP!
 
Have you tried reseating the processor and memory in the box ? Generally when a dell system is showing the progress bar its doing a memory check. If this doesn't work and you have more than 2 dimms in the system try booting with just 1, also trying changing the slots the memory is in
