Try removing the video card and seeing if the system will boot. If it does boot without the video card try reinstalling it and seeing if it will boot. Video cards are a common cause of boot up issues.

If that doesn't work try clearing the CMOS, using the jumper on the board (check the manual if you don't know where this is). This will clear all the bios settings and it's more likely to boot up with base settings.
