If removing the RAM and the power supply doesn't work, and you are not
getting any feedback from the motherboard (via LED's or Beeps), check
your board for scorch marks... especially around the networking chip. I
once had a mboard fry when a surge came over the cable modem.

Note that scorch marks imply "fry", but the converse is not true (could
be fried and not have marks).

What is the make/model of the motherboard?

PS: I assume this is a computer that was just working and then stopped,
not one where you added something like a new processor or RAM (where you
did not match the RAM speed or processor FSB or something like that).

I also assume you weren't "overclocking" the processor... or "hacking"
the BIOS.
