Inspiron 530 Blinking amber light

I Have a Dell Inspiron 530.  I can not get my computer to turn on.  I have unplugged, held down the power button, and plugged back in but it will not start up.  There is a green light on in the back of the computer.  Can someone please help me to figure out how to turn it on?  Thank You!!

Does the power supply fan run?

Are there any 'Beeps'?

try the following troubleshooting procedure, to see if they make a difference and post back the results:

IF THE POWER LIGHT IS BLINKING AMBER—The computer is receiving electrical power, a device might be malfunctioning or incorrectly installed.

Remove and then reinstall the memory modules (see "Installing Memory" on page 126).

Remove and then reinstall any cards (see "Cards" on page 129).

Remove and then reinstall the graphics card, if applicable (see "Removing a PCI/PCI Express Card" on page 134).
