Ik im a bit late to the party on this one, but this pc originally came with a 460 watt psu, meaning the 400 watt psu you attempted to jury-rig in was insufficient to power the device.
I just got this system used and I stripped it and put the mother board in an non dell case. I am having problems installing xp. I had this problem before moving the parts. This computer is one of Dell's biggest bombs they ever made. I have lots of other models that Dell made and they just work.
Got one of these for free. Will not install windows 10, 7, or XP. Bios is absolutely horrible. Psu is making high pitched noise when pc is off. I WAS going to strip it all out and make it a gaming pc but found out motherboard is not a standard size and not worth the effort 😐
This computer got me through university, and heated my dorm room in Ottawa at the same time
Nice 😂

Not sure. Sorry
are there any bulging capacitors or burn marks on the board that could be the problem or even the bios chip is bad
No there is not, maybe it's the BIOS. But I really don't want to spend money on this thing. Which is why I quit.
ahh ok thanks

It's an ati Radeon x800 pci-e graphics card
Thanks!
X800 XT actually
No, you can't fix it.
Ikr
I have this PC too from a decade ago, the fact the power supply is at the bottom and not a standard one is a joke
Yeah, ikr. I cannot find any replacement. But I really don't care about fixing it at this point.
ebay should have replacements
I looked there already
