I would contact Dell and have them walk you through some troubleshooting. Unfortunately it does sound like a hardware issue so you'll likely need to send it in for repair or bring it to a local repair shop. Contact info for Dell can be found here:

Hi slasheisou,
You may follow the steps mentioned below:
1. Connect the system to a known good power outlet and check if it works.
2. Perform flea power. Remove the power cable and any external peripherals like a printer, now hold the power button down for 15-20 seconds and then connect the power cable back in and start the computer. Check if it works.
3. Reseat the power cable in the power connector on the back of the computer and the electrical outlet.
4. Swap the power cord of the Monitor with the system power cord, and then try to power on the Desktop system.
