Do you get any beep codes? If computers fail during the POST they will beep a code at you in a series of short and long beeps. If you don't get any beep codes than the computer isn't even POST-ing.
If that is the case, the next step in trouble shooting is to reduce the system to a minimum configuration. Which means unplug everything that isn't nailed down. Unplug all IDE/SCSI cables. (But remember where they go and which way the red wire is facing). Unplug power cables, take your video card out, and any other peripherals. take out your memory. And turn on your computer and listen for a beep code. If you still don't get a beep code than there is something wrong with your processor, motherboard, or PS. If you do get a beep code, you can add things back in one by one (starting with the memory) and find the culprit.
