Dell 4100

I have three 4100's all which froze and when shut off will now not boot at all. On one I get to the logo screen on the others I get nothing. I am lost as to the cause at this point. I have replaced one motherboard, but that did not solve the problem. If anyone out there has knowledge of this problem with the 4100, please help!

    I'm just throwing this out, did you by chance have a bad electrical storm prior to all this happening? And if you did, you know where I am going with this, right? And if you didnt, did you do anything unusual just prior to this event? Kip

    Not that I know of. On one of the 4100 the system froze - it was turned off - when turned back on it would not boot (no video, no post, nothing). this is true of all three machines.

    Like I said in my first post, I have replaced almost every component in one of them and still have no luck. The machine recognizes the hard drive but will not boot past the initial configuration screen to the hard drive. This machine will boot to a floppy though.
