Bob,
Do you have access to a POST card? If so, put it in and let us know what is says. If not, here are few things to try:
1) Remove all add-ons from the motherboard and power the unit up. If the motherboard/power supply are not dead you should hear the POST codes for missing equipment (memory, video.)
2) If you hear the POST codes in step 1 then add in the video card and verify POST(should now hear missing memory POST codes.)
3) Add in the memory and verify POST, if it fails try swapping the memory in the slots. I've had some motherboard sfail, even after making sure the memory slots were clean and the memory was inserted properly. A swap of the memory between slots and the boards started working.
4) Then, add in the hard drives, cd, dvd, etc equipment one at a time. I've had some machines that would not boot because a hard drive was going bad. The motherboard would not even POST, but once the drive was pulled it booted fine.
