Computer won't boot

Been down for 24 hours now and I've tried everything. First I thought it was the power supply, then I thought it was the video card (since it was giving me a constant red light), but now I think it's the motherboard. PSU tested out fine (got a PSU tester). All the fans run, including the PSU fans, CPU fans, and Video card fan. Video card recently stopped giving me the red light, it flashes red when starting up but it doesn't stay on anymore. Don't suppose there's any magical way to fix it and get my computer back up and running? Monitor still detects no input signal, but the video card is in right and it's fan is running, so it's getting power.
 
Break it all down to the bare minimum. Remove one stick of RAM and boot, alternate and boot. Try to narrow it down by way of deduction. Also consider clearing the CMOS if all else fails. Check all connections and make sure all power cables are connected and that each data cable is secure. Hope this helps 🙂

edit: One more thing, what did you last do before this occurred?

Heya, thanks for the reply. I have tried all that.

As for what the last thing I did before it all occurred...Kinda tripped on the power cord, unplugging the power to the PC case, and having the case fall on it's side so everything got rocked around a bit, nothing major... 😛 - Looking like either the hastily unplugging might of done some electrical damage, or the slight fall might of done some physical damage, but everything looks ok in there, except for the north bridge connector heatsink thingy, which partly came undone. It's not in use anyways though.

I'm just hoping only one part (like the motherboard) was damaged and not anything else. Even more hoping that it's just some little problem I haven't noticed yet that I should have noticed a long time ago...but that's very unlikely at this point.
