I would first check the PSU, swap it out with one that you know works. If that doesn't do the trick, post back and we'll try to help you from there.

Try reseating the motherboard power connector before swapping the power supply. You could also try reseating the CPU. Contacts tend to corrode when a unit is unused for an extended period.
