Dell XPS 410 Will not boot what so ever.
So, a while back my Dell XPS 410 stopped working completely and will not boot or display anything on screen. I have no clue what the problem is but it started this when i removed a Creative Soundblaster PCI card. When i press the power button, it powers on, but will not display image, and the 1 2 3 4 LED indicator on the front wont display a code. So i sent it to my dads friend and he "supposedly" looked at it and said it was the video card. I have not gotten around to testing it yet. While my pc was gone, i went out and bought another PC which has no PCI expansion ports, only PICe ports. So i will test the video card on that pc. I do not know what color the power button is, as i am partially color blind and rely on others to help me with that but i will ask. The power supply has been replaced and i tried multiple PSU's. The hard drive still works fine and is in my current PC. RAM is not faulty, as it has been tested. Not totally sure about the processor because i have no way to test it and can not get into BIOS. The light on the mother board was green last time i asked someone. I have only tried the VGA output on the video card, but not the DVI or SVideo so i think i will try that as well.
I pretty much tested all hardware and i think it is the MB or the Video Card. I just want to figure this out so i can buy a replacement part, as this was used as a server type PC.
Any other info needed, let me know.
