Any POST?
If not unplug everything. Then try booting with only one stick of ram if you get a valid POST then add the other stick if any. Then plug one component at the time an try to boot.
Good luck.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_self-testIf you get 1 short beep when powering up, everything is good else you got a problem. Refer to your motherboard user manual for beep diagnostic code.

Probably one of your GPUs. Unplug them all from the MB then plug one in and make sure you see monitor output. repeat as needed.
This happened to me a few weeks back. It turns out my Power supply was failing out of a lead.

The fans spinning for a fraction of a second is almost always either a bad motherboard or a short wire somewhere.
Here is my troubleshooting procedures. 1. Unplug everything! Remove all cards 2. Check cpu/memory seated properly 3. Cycle switch on power supply, plug back in 24 pin motherboard/8 pin CPU/CPU FAN 4. plug in power switch on motherboard and check that it powers up (if not try different power supply and retry, if still no power replace motherboard) 5. plug in video cards 1 at a time and pcie cables (check pcie adapter cables if used sometimes pins come out of the molex side) 6. Check for power after each video card is added (if no power after a video card is added test motherboard again with just that video card or another system if possible to double check card is dead 7. plug back in drives and boot up system
#1 is important, unplugging cables will reset protection modes on power supply

Whatever you do, don't panic. Disconnect all power leads except for those connected to the motherboard (24pin plus any extra 4 pin plugs). As strange as it sounds, sometimes a fan might fail and it shorts causing strange behavior throughout the system. (Including no POST) If you pull out all cards and leave the system as if it were a barebone, then you should know if it is the motherboard. Also retrace the steps you might have done in the last 24 hours. Usually it might be something pligged in badly.

You need a minimum of 1 stick of RAM to boot ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Try this, (*maybe someone else already suggested this) unplug your power supply from the wall and then remove your CMOS battery. leave it for a few minutes. put the CMOS back in and power back up.
Do you know the model number of your motherboard? some models don't beep when they POST.
