Try resetting the CMOS (take out the battery if you dont know the jumper) and then reboot...

Reseat everything especially video card. Try an old video card. Move ram slots. Temporarily take all drive cables out of the system. If it boots then, check drive settings in Bios and drive jumpers. Make sure cable connections aren't upside down.
