GX110 checkpoint [PNP1] please, cannot bootup

My GX110 (SFF) has been freezing last week, and fails to boot up.  I get the error message for checkpoints:
 
PNP1   (3 times this one and still cannot boot for this reason)
PNPC
CRT
 
Anyone knows what they mean?   The Dell chat people don't know what they are, and I cannot get Dell any answer from Dell.   I am stuck !!!!  The system would not boot for this checkpoint and I don't where or how to figure out what to do.
 
Is there any glossary, or list somewhere to explain the checkpoints and solutions to them???
 
Appreciate any answer or hint or guesses from you experts.

Why a 2nd post?

PNP1 - PnP/PCI Phase 1.
PNPC - Unknown
CRT? - Searching for video ROMs.

remove everything hooked up to your motherboard exept: CPU,RAM,PSU
reset the bios by removing the battery after disconnecting the powercord and drainig the PSU by holding in the power button for 3 seconds.

Whats the color of the power button?  Those skinny GX110s killed lots of power supplies in  the school system I support.  I'd swap out the power supply, & memory & have nothing else hooked up but video & keyboard, & hope the system can show life, otherwise I'd lay it to rest
