chillys,
This is a system fault error condition, including the power supply. Only the +5VSB rail on the power supply is working correctly. Power off and reseat all ram, cards, cables, cords, and plugs. Power on, any difference?

Reboot the pc and press F2 to get into the System Setup. Does this work?
Reboot the pc and press F8, choose safemode. Does this work?
If not, strip the PC down to CPU, Ram, and video card. Pull all other cards. Any difference?
