It probably does the POST (for those that don't know it is the 'BIOS' that Nick mentioned) and then comes up with the 'unable to find master disk' or 'Primary Hard Disk Failure', something like that. If it was a power problem you would get nothing. Being a Dell machine the likelihood is that they replaced the normal POST screen with some clever and useful marketing logo
