Most of the time, the logic (mother) board has failed in some capacity. Either the NIC won't work, or the video is garbled, or sound won't work, or it just won't turn on at all. The most common problem is that it won't turn on at all.
The power supplies 90% of the time will test just fine and none of the other components are shorting out the board, it usually just boils down to needing a new motherboard.
There is a reason that Dell PC's are inexpensive. The first reason is that they outsourced their support to India, and the second is that they use sub-par components in their systems.
