disconnect all data & power cables to drives. remove all cards & ram except 1 stick of ram & videocard. make certain the voltage selector is set to the right voltage of your country. check that the cmos jumper is in default/normal mode & not clear.

Take a quick look at your Front Panel I/O connections. (the small wires coming from your power/reset buttons on the front part of the case)
Remove the connection wire from the Power button pins. Turn on the power to the PSU...and wait for your board lights to light up. Now, take a small flathead screwdriver, and touch the two pin connections for the power button on your motherboard. Do this just for a second, as it's a momentary switch meaning it only needs to be connected for a second (or less) to complete the circuit and turn on the power to the motherboard. Your board should fire up right away.
This will tell you two things:
One, if the connection to the power button was loose, or you have a bad power button (rare, but it can happen)
Two, a bad power supply.
Hope that helps!

if fans spin but nothing on screen than bios might need flashing if it comes up to bootlock. check the can shaped objects on motherboard as they are capacitors, are they flat topped & not domed?
