It Sounds Like Your PC Is Dammaged Beyond Repair
And Needs To Be Replaced And I Know This Because I Had At One Time A Dell Optiplex GX150 With A Simular Problem That I Can Not Fix At All And So I Dismantled and Disposed Of It The Right Way And Turned It In For Recycling At The Nearest Recycling Center And Yes You Can Do That !!!! I Then Replaced That PC When I Bought A New Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L PC With An Intel Pentium 4 Prossor With 2 Cores !!! This Is An Exelint PC If You Can Still Get One New Or Used. I Recmoend New And Get it With an Intel Pentium Quad Core Prossor!!!!

Dell optiplex 330 keep on blinking amber light orange

An Amber blinking power button indicates a low voltage problem. This can be caused by a defective power supply or a defective motherboard. Since you replaced the power supply, my guess is that the motherboard has a problem.

Will not turn on when power button is Dell Inspiron 518 will not turn on when power button is pressed. Green LED on back of powersupply lights and orange LED on motherboard turns on. No fan operation on...

Green LED on back of power supply indicates it's getting power. That does not mean that it's distributing the power voltages to the computer. You could have a bad power supply or a bad motherboard. Just to make surethat nothing else is causing the problem, remove any PCI cards like modem,video card, sound card, etc... Remove the memory modules and disconnect cablesto CD/DVD drives. Look at the USB ports to see if any are damaged.
