My Dell XPS 420 has decided to bite the dust and won't boot up, it goes onto the BIOS and emits constant short beeps, from that I've gathered this is a motherboard or psu problem, but I can't be sure which
I have also learned that Dell use BTX motherboards rather than standard ATX ones meaning I won't be able to get a new motherboard to replace it un less I go for dells completely overprced one which I don't want to really.
So what are my options now?
Taking the components out and putting them in a new PC?
Just sellingthem and buying a new PC?
Thanks for any the replies

Happens to me weekly,
Side off PC > HDD('s) out > Boot her up > Error "no boot device available!" > Turn off > HDD back in > Walla
Works for me anyways

@weirdwilli
The beeps usually can tell you the error.
Heres some beep codes from my motherboard. It might be the same or different for yours:
1 Short: successful boot
2 Short: BIOS setting error
1 long, 1 short: RAM or motherboard error
1 long, 2 short: Monitor or graphics card error
1 long, 3 short: Keyboard error
1 long, 9 short: BIOS ROM error
Continuous long: Graphics card not inserted
Continuous short: Power error
So yea, its most likeley a psu problem (those things break all the time....(maybe not as much as hard drives))
