happened to me a while ago. The motherboard needed to be replaced In my case well that s what the dell technican did anyway. Could also be a problem
with the power unit either. Maybe somebody else can offer you better advice but I'd contact Dell Support. Although that doesn't tend to be quick and easy experience....

How old is your computer?

Standard Toaster

Do you know the model?

Boom_Bap

Do you get a series of beeps?

Soounds silly but they are there for a reason.

Hi
Thank you for your speed on this but is seen that the usb port on the front had a bent pin in it and was touching another one so I just pulled the pins apart and up it started thank you all again :D:D

That's a lucky save. Well done on spotting that.
