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.

I am 99% sure it's not the cpu. Most likely PSU or motherboard. Unless you overclocked and backed the chip.

+1 Quixit,

Test first with a known working PSU
Try removing the ram and boot, if you don't ear any beeps it most likely the mobo.

Power supply is pretty much the only option left.
