1 - no memory/bad memory
3 - reseat processor
2 - remove all expansion devices + try booting up
4 - BIOS checksum failure(corrupt BIOS or bad motherboard)

Have you tried working with a (donor)replacement PSU, to rule out the unit being the root of the problem before you go out buying any other parts to diagnose the problem?
