This is related to Hardware.

There might be a lose Ram of data cable connection on Motherboard.

This type of issue is also seen when the there is dust accumulation on Process Fan and CPU fan resulting in over heating.

This might also be due to malfunction of a motherboard.

The third reason could be that SMPS his not working.

Dell dimension 5150 wont boot past post. I've tried afew things but nothing works. can you help? thanks
If it won't go past POST then there is a hardware error. Try removing the hard drive and RAM. The mother board should complain at power on giving messages. If it does, try fitting the RAM module by module, then the hard drive.

The 123 lights on tower translates as:

Routine system activity subsequent to video initialization.
Watch your monitor for on-screen messages.

Disconnect the video cable from the computer and see if you get floating color bars on display. If not, your monitor is defective.

My dell dimension 5150 won't boot up , Screen stays dead Please advise what motherboard would be best
Dell chassis cannot accept a Non-Dell Motherboard with out modification. Generally simpler to use a Dell branded motherboard. You can get one here: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=dimension+5150+motherboard+&_cqr=true&_nkwusc=dimension+5150+motherbaord&_rdc=1

Dell Dimension 5150 Boot Problems!
You can probably try two things here.

1) Go to the BIOS and reset the defaults.
2) Clear NVRAM from your Dell computer. Here is how you do it.

Dell 5150 Start-Up Problem.. beeps
Beeping on startup is a memory error. The blue screen you got was most likely caused by a memory error as well. First, take out then re-install your memory. If the error persists and you have more than one stick, test each one singly to find out which stick is bad.
