Without a diagnostic meter to check, it is cheaper to replace the power supply. You could take the power supply into a place that sells computer parts and see if they can test it. They fail, especially OEM and they have a lot of complexity to them .

sounds like something is drawing down on your 12 volt supply drives or on board regulators. Try it without the drives connectged, and see if you can get the system to boot up(you'll just get a notice that your drives are unavailable, but you'll already know that, right?
got backup for your Dell?

If you fan isn't turning like it should, it is definitely a power supply issue. Go out and purchase a power supply with 250-300 watts...thats a good standard wattage!!

I had the same issue with my Dell Dimension 5150 and I replaced the front I/O USB Audio Panel and it booted right up.
