does the motherboard recieve powere? is the litttle LED light on the motherboard turned on when you turn on the PC? try to reset cmos, there should be a little jumper on your motherboard somewhere on the lower right.do any fans turn on? any other signs of life? does the PSU fan jerk a little when you turn it on?

Sounds like the graphics card might have blown.

I'd re-seat everything to be on the safe side - memory for instance can cause these problems and is damn easy to knock them out of 'seat'. I would uplug each cable and peripheral and plug it back in, snuggly, esp the graphics card and memory.

If still no dice, then you need to investigate the PSU first, then the motherboard, then anything plugged in. But check that memory and videocard first - those are the most likely culprets.
