it could be as col said, a mb failure, i have ran into a bad hard drive causing this issue on boot in dell laptops before. as a quick test, pull the hdd out and see if it boots, if so, it could be the hdd or the hdd controller on the board...the only way to test further if this is the case is to replace the drive with a known good drive and try to boot. if it boots, drive was bad, if it gives same symptom board is bad.
