Hmm.  Try pulling out all of the cards in the system.  Leave the memory
in.  Turn on the system.  Presuming that your video card is a card and not
onboard, you should hear some beeps (often 8).  Start adding pieces back
in, until the system doesn't work again, or maybe it'll start working
again..

If you couldn't get anything to happen when all of the pieces were taken
out, then you most likely have a problem with the memory or the
motherboard.  Make sure the memory is seated properly, and maybe try to
borrow some RAM from someone for testing.
