Azeezgk786, Try removing the battery and remove the power adapter. Now, press and hold the power button on for about 30 seconds to 1 min. Plug the power adapter in and turn the system on. You can replace the battery. If it does not come on and the power adapter brick has a green LED lit on it then, the motherboard may need to be replaced.

battery mode system ok ?

try reseating the RAM actually make sure it is properly inserted then if it still doesn't work try with one stick

try removing the battery, and using the laptop with the power supply only

Are any of the lights coming on? The more information you give the easier it will be to help. The first thing you should check is the outlet on the wall, then look at your power cable. Make sure that the cord to the power block is firmly in place.

This is a common problem that I run into. The battery will show charged when it really isn't. Take out the battery, plug the charger into the computer and try turning it on. If this works, you have a bad battery and it will need to be conditioned or replaced. If this doesn't work it could be a serious hardware issue.

This sounds like it could be an overheating issue. Some manufacturers use a cheap thermal paste on their processors. If you are dealing with a computer this should be an easy fix but if you are dealing with a laptop then it is much more involved. Go to Youtube and research replacing or removing heat sink. You wont be replacing the heat sink but the procedure is the same except you will need to clean the old paste off your heat sink before you apply more. Don't go crazy with the paste, a little goes a long way, all you are doing with the thermal paste is ensuring full contact between the processor and the heat sink with no air gaps.

Your beep codes indicate a processor failure, did you purchase a new processor with the MB or did you use the old one?

Do a reinstall of the operating system.

i see that the USB port is 2.0,and you need to upgrade your motherboard in order to use USB 3.0 device,and since it's a laptop,like what you said,it's very expensive

I would not consider replacing the motherboard, in fact Dell should be replacing the laptop for a design that does not have these heat related issues, I think if you made enough noise about this particular line they may replace what you have lost.
