If it doesn't POST, it's a hardware error. I would do the following:
  1. Remove everthing from the mainboard, except CPU and PSU. If it gives a beep, proceed with step 5
  2. try another PSU.
  3. try another CPU.
  4. try another mainboard.
  5. Connect components until you find the one which causes the trouble. Blow in every connector to clean it from dust. Start with the memory.
  6. Keyboard
  7. Graphic card
  8. Harddrive
  9. the rest, one by one
  10. If you've put back everything and it works again, it was maybe a loose connection.
  11. Make a backup and keep it up to date. Will save your life.
Hope that helps
