you tend to find without ram in the bios wont post/display.
With ram but everything else unplugged (Hdd's, CPU) etc it should show display but bitch about lack of whatever.
If its beeping and you cant find anything, you could research the motherboard manufacturer and see what the bios beeps mean within the manual.
That or just phone Dell since they will have the details.

As fooby said, unplug EVERYTHING from the mobo other than ram / power supply and case buttons, and see if it posts, if not pull power lead / pull cmos battery for 10 seconds, place and try again, if not, then as uve already tested psu, the board is probs poooped.
