Dell Dimension E520 Boot Issue

I am trying to help someone with their Dell Dimension E520.  The PC will not boot and there is no signal to the LCD Monitor.  When I turn the PC on the Diagnostics lights go through a sequence and eventually stop with lights 1, 2 and 3 being on.  Immediately after the Diagnostic lights stop with 1, 2 and 3 being on, I hear two beeps of the same length.  I switched out the Power Supply with different Power Supply, but there was absolutely not change, so I switched back to the original Power Supply.  The CPU heat sink/case fan is running when the PC is on.  I have already re-seated the video card and checked to make sure that all connectors are properly connected.

Where do I go from here?

Thanks in Advance.

TheKid7,
The 123 diagnostic LED pattern is known as the vague "other failure" error code (or system activity after video initialization according to the Dell Solution Network troubleshooting tool). Try going through the No Power, No POST, No Video wizard to identify what's causing the problem with that E520.
