IBM Xseries 346 Powers up then Powers Off without beeping
I have an IBM Xseries 346, when I press the power button it proceeds to power up, the fans spin like an American V8 roaring to life, then suddenly, it just powers off. There is a diagnostic panel on the front that yields me no results. I removed a scsi card from the back but that didn't fix it. I've since tried removing everything except the CPU and ram, one at a time, and I still can't get it do anything.
The motherboard has a diagnostic panel that displays 0 0 on me but I can't find anything on IBM's site to tell me what this represents.
The LCD it' is hooked to detects something is hooked to it because the backlight turns on, however thats where the good times come to an end, the LCD shortly thereafter the computer powers down also shuts off.

I can't find the isopropyl alcohol, I'll need to run and pick some up tomorrow morning to continue testing. FYI, after removing the RAM and CPU the system behaves exactly as it did before I removed the CPU/RAM. If it won't boot after these are reseated then I'll throw in the towel.

All of these were great suggestions and I tried them all before I honestly had to give up and move on. I put it in the corner of the room and will keep it for parts. Thanks for trying to help though.
thnx
