I have a Dell PowerEdge 840 server. I powered it off using the start menu to perform a shutdown. Ever since I've done that, I cannot get it to power on again. The indicator light on the front of the server just continuously blinks green. I have a PS2 keyboard and mouse attached to it without a monitor. The power supply fan comes on, the CPU fan does not start, and I cannot ping the server. Does anyone have any ideas why it won't startup?

After spending days on this issue, I found out that the power button was sticking. I had to press extremely hard on the button and hold it down in order for it to power on. Thank you to everyone who attempted to help me.
