I have an XPS Gen III (little more than 6 years old), but besides being old I haven't had any problems with it. However, yesterday when I turned it on, after 2 seconds the only thing that happened was the fan turned on full blast after about 2s. There was no display on the monitor and no beeps from the board. Also, there was nothing significant to my knowledge that would have caused this (i.e. no power surge).
From what I have gathered, it's either the mobo, CPU, PSU or video card. I removed all the RAM, booted and nothing changed - no beeps still. I tried jumping the CMOS, no change. I have reseated most of the components and no change.
Can anyone tell me what the likely culprit is or how I can "easily" diagnose which component is failing?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
