i recently ordered a dell precision t5600 workstation. it worked fine for 2 weeks. i force it to shutdown using the power button while windows was configuring updates because i ran out of power supply:sarcastic::pfff:.
since then its not powering on again:pfff:.Whenever i press a black button on the PSU, the fan rolls and lights come on. It does not power at all again. i want to be sure what the problem is. thanks!

system specification
dell precision t5600 desktop
8gb ram
intel xeon quad core 3.3ghz (2x)
quadro 600

I can not get to the Bios. I was able to install the original processors, it fired right up. Then I wanted to try one last thing, unplug all periphereals to free up power and try the upgraded CPUs again. Now I believe the motherboard is fried. It won't work with any of the CPUs and won't even get to the same point with the blank monitor. Just the fans turn on and not much else. So now this has turned into a complete rebuild.
