Have you tried the usual tricks of holding down f12 button while powering on etc to get to safe mode? that depends on the operating system. try without internet connection and with the os boot cd if you have in the cd drive.
M.B IS 1.5 YEARS LATE
TELLING op HAS BAD HDD.
OR infected oS.
test the hdd first
2004 made PC
now 15 years old
the CMOS RTC battery is now dead
and next will be HDD with doomed S.M.A.R.T
HDd test errors next
age matters, first. ok?
of your HDD is dead, there will be no data
that is why gawd invented backups.
all HDD die some in 5 short years.
plan on that and never lose data ever.
ok> PLAN Ahead.

Could be many things, take it to a computer lab or calla technician who has tools to identify the problem. f Hard Drive is fried then you may not be able to get data back.
BEST AMSWER. BUT WAY TOO LATE
GET IT REPAIRED
ASK TECH TO BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST
THAT COSTS MONEY DONE TOO LATE.
THEN TEST THE HDD NEXT.
NEVER INSTALL UNSTATED OS ON TO ANY BAD HDD.
DOOMED.

As posted by Smithbrother, you can't just put any motherboard in a Dell--the case and motherboard are built for each other. You would be better off buying another computer. A new motherboard means a different processor (like you want). This means a different, higher speed memory.
You can have a system built by a local computer person or browse some of the sites (you can go to Dell for some real deals--as well as other company sites).
Any new system will not have "only pci slots." The new boards will have PCI-E slots for your video, but will also have some PCI slots for expansion.
Cost? That's hard to say. I have to do an estimate for each of my clients depending on just what they want.
SOURCE: Clear cmos Dell dimension 3000. It don't have pin or jumper
Open the case and locate the CMOS battery. Just nest to it should be a button or jumper. Press the button or remove the jumper, then start the machine.
If it's a jumper, turn the machine off once more and replace the jumper before continuing.

Hi,
Is the power button a steady abmber light?
If so follow the instruction below>>>>
Remove the power
cord from the back of the computer. Then open the side casing of the
tower and unplug the 24 pin block connector from the motherboard. The
24 pin block connector looks like this >>>>>
Once removed press the on/off button on the computer to dispel and residual power from the motherboard.
Then
connect the block connector again and put the side panel back on and
then plug the power cord back in and try to boot the computer up.
If its still the same then the power supply inside the computer may need replacing.
Good luck.
