It’s the original power supply now, but my dad has three of these at his office, so I pulled one from a working unit to test that theory.

At any rate it’s coming up on three years of service, but it is some kind of proprietary format I think.

Thanks for your help so far. :)

Done good so far! last thing to try is removing and reseating the cpu. even replacing it from a donor machine. sometimes that helps but be sure you replace the thermal paste.

After that, it could need it's bios reprogrammed. Some dells have a way to recover the bios with a USB stick, most you have to remove the chip and flash it with a programmer though :(
