    If under warranty contact Dell, if not insert the MS Boot Disk (Diskette) and reboot. If no joy insert the MS OS CD along with the disk and attempt to boot. If no joy and the cooling fans are spinning (observed by removing the side cover) you may have a motherboard problem. Try one more thing and that is to remove all PCI card(s) and again attempt a reboot.

    Good Luck.

    A solid yellow power LED could be a processor or motherboard. If it is flashing, then it may be the power supply or the power connection for the CPU.
