Hi,

Thanks for the comment & link, but i have already looked, and what i get displayed :-

 

solid green 3 & 4 - is not listed....   :smileysad:

 

Thanks,

Is it beeping at you at this point?

How long until those two lights stay on? (does it happen as soon as you press the power button?)

 

And what is your power button light doing? Is it blinking and if it is, what color?

 

Solid green is listed in that link, but it is accompanied buy info on what the power button light is doing as well. 

I think it was due to a faulty PSU, i have not upgraded to a 1000w version and it boots fine

 

Although there is also a possibilty that the xeon 5405 is not compatible, its currently running 2 x 5120's while i await an call back from Dell regarding the 5405

If you can read the sticker on the motherboard in the upper right hand corner (just under the hard drives) and the the model number starts with a MY, the 54xx should be ok....If the processor is not compatible, you should get beep codes telling you such.
