Hello jameswlane,
I am from Dell Social Media and Community.
Check all the connections once and make sure it is connected correctly.
It could be an issue with the memory card, try to reinstall them or swap them with one memory card at a time and start up the system. If the issue persists, verify if the power supply connected is the one compatible with the system, swap with a known good monitor.
You may also follow the link below to run a basic hardware test on your system. If you get any error code, you may associate it to the list in the link.
