It could be any number of reasons and I cant begin to fathom which it may be. Just make sure you check all your connections a couple times. I would try to boot with bare minimum to. Take out everything but video card. Unplug the CDROM, HD and everything. If it posts plug the HD back in. If you get the same problems as before maybe try formatting the drive.

remove everything except vc, reset cmos...

If you can, try with another vc...also, does your computer beep?
