Im going threw basics first, make sure the monitor is plugged in completely, make sure that the CMOS battery is inserted properly, HDD is connected, BIOS chip correct. reply back with updates.

im not really sure but i think if you get nothing when it turns on then the motherboard is fried or just the CPU

I Think I might go along with what you thought yourself. Try a different PSU, if you can. You might want to go up a grade to 350 or more. Its only a thought.

this happened to my cpu, i left it on overnight an the next morning it wouldnt switch on, i did a thorough examination on it and i found that the processor had been fried, one of the pins was all black and the part of the motherboard where that pin went was also all black,
check the processor, it may save you allot of hassle
