You can also try removing all of the cards (except the video card)
and see if it works.

Did you get into the Bios and redo all your settings? You could
probably choose Default Settings or Optimal Settings for
now. Reseat or replace the Video Card with the older one. Make sure it's
seated properly. Also, the cpu and heatsink assy.

I changed my motherboard battery and it turned out it was dead, because
the
PC wouldn't fire up at all, just dead. When I went through everything you
could think of, reseating the RAM, checking the power supply, changing the
video card, changing the hard drive, changing the monitor and finally
taking
the heatsink and fan assembly off , cleaning it and reapplying the arctic
silver, it turned out to be the motherboard battery. I forgot completely
about that. But, when I finally replaced it and then fired it up, the
monitor
stayed yellow in the LED. I changed the jumper on the motherboard over to
default, or to the other prong, whatever you want to call it, it has 3
prongs
and I changed it over from 1 to 2 or from 2 to 3 whatever. When I did that
the PC didn't even fire up. Nothing! When I changed it back to the
original
position it fired up, but the same problem of the monitor not working. Now
there was progress because nothing was happening when you pushed the power
button. Now you get the fans moving and the hard drive spinning or getting
warm. Maybe it's the hard drive? I did check the hard drive and replaced
it
with another one. I'm going to try a new hard drive that hasn't been used
before and give that a shot.
One thing, if you change the motherboard battery and then you have
problems
you should be able to adjust the jumper on the motherboard to default and
then switch it back. Even the tech at Dell said to do that and it would be
ok. I guess not.
Well, the motherboard is a M7VIG 400 that supports AMD processors and the
chip is an AMD Sempron 2200. I think it's the motherboard that's screwy.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, attilathehun1
