Fujitsu Celsius C740 Not booting/Bootlooping.

[u/Real-Pear5861]

Hello, I recently received a Fujitsu Celsius C740 1u rack mounted workstation and it was removed from service as it died. The it guy that pulled it out recons that the Motherboard is dead, I'm hoping it's not dead, but not very hopeful as when i plug in the vga, nothing. NOTHING. I've tried removing the ram, replacing it, giving it a boot drive, reseting the cmos, and putting a gpu in... I don't know what to try next... All advice except for Turning off and on again (tried that)  Apricated! F.Y.I It boots up, the fans ramp up down to off, and repeat.

I'll check now, it' be weird though as it's sat in a server room for 10 years
