That’s almost always a failed power supply or a loose ATX 12V connector on most of these Dell towers -- [link|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague|See here as to why. At the time, Dell was hit hard]. Check the connections to the power supply first and even look into disconnecting and reconnecting them. Also, check for bad capacitors. A lot of systems have problems with capacitors, especially older Dells. What has always worked for me on those to make sure it isn't a deeper issue quickly is to reseat both the 20/24-pin and ATX 12V connection to make sure it isn't an age-related disconnect. The cheap fix is a new power supply on these, especially when the fault remains after a connection reseat. Should it be a bad motherboard, it usually ends up being a recap most of the time, but depending on how long it has been rotting with the bad caps, it can sometimes ruin the board beyond repair.
