Did you open the case and visually verify that all connectors still are fully inserted? What about the HSF? Is it still making full contact with the CPU? Is it an Intel or an AMD based PC? You should provide full system specs if you need additional help.

Boot problems:

Thread contains a checklist and troubleshooting tips.

I would disconnect, then reconnect everything (checks cable connections). If it works, you found the problem. If it doesn't, continue on.

Then unplug the keyboard and mouse and unplug all the drives. The drives are the only mechanical parts really susceptible to physical damage. Try to boot. If everything else is good, the system should successfully POST (generally a single short beep).

If the system works, connect the monitor and boot. You should see the normal boot messages until the system detects the missing hardware. If it doesn't work, you may have a bad video card.

Plug in the keyboard and mouse, then retest. If it works, continue on. If not, there's your problem.

Plug in the drives one at a time, testing after each one.
