PowerEdge 1850 wont POST =(

Hi All

I recently purchased a Dell PowerEdge 1850 off ebay to play around with for my University course...

It was booting and 'screaming' the fans fine at first but after I replaced the original single core XEON with a dual core and added two more modules of RAM (2 x 1GB) it will no longer POST, and the fans will not work as fast or loud as normal... there is also a flashing amber light on the front on the right most light??

I'm new to servers so I'm not sure whats gone wrong?

- The CPU is seated fine and I have added new thermal paste.

- I have swapped out the new CPU for the old one again

- Tried seating the CPU in the spare socket

- Reseated all 4 RAM modules (2 x 1GB and 2 x 512mb)

- Reseated both HDD's

All to no avail =(

Hope someone has some idea as to what I've done wrong here =/

Many Thanks. AH.

PS my service tag is CVVC81J

EDIT: Also note that there is no video output on the screen?
