Greg, this is a common fault with old Dell P4 boxes, it's leaking
caps around the Cpu power section of the board. Your machine is dead, sorry.
That's fine, thanks - thought it might be dead but wanted to make
sure :-) New box coming up...
You can check for leaky caps by looking at the motherboard.
If any are bulging at the top then that is the problem.
No point throwing it if you haven't checked it
