Try the following:

- Clear CMOS
- remove all add-on cards but the video card (if it is not on-board)
- remove all IDE/SATA/FDD cables FROM the motherboard (not from the device)

Now what you should have still put together is: mobo, CPU + heatsink, RAM, video card (if not on-board), monitor, keyboard.
If you still have some other devices connected through USB or firewire, please disconnect the corresponding cables from the computer.

Now, power-on the computer.
See if it works.
