Wont boot, No Display, No POST

Okay so I reset my computer yesterday and suddenly there is nothing. The fans and everything turn on but there is no display and I am pretty sure the OS is not booting up because I cant access the network drives. Last time I reset the computer I had to choose boot from last known good configuration becuase it wasnt booting but this time I get nothing. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

If you were working inside the case you may have accidently bumped something and dislodged it. Try reseating the RAM and the PCI cards.

What do you mean by "reset your computer"?
That really doesn't mean a thing without more information on exactly what you did.

Just a reboot. Start, shutdown, reset. The computer was running a little slow in my image editing program and reboots seem to help it a little bit. I did notice just now though that some of the LED's are flickering a bit. Could I have a power supply issue? I am not getting any beeps from the case speaker. I have disconnected everything but the CPU 1 stick of ram and video card but still nothing.

I actually ordered new computer parts for a new computer the day before it died. Good timing huh? I still need to get it working though. I guess I will wait for my new power supply to come in and try that. I do have an old power supply with a 20-pin connector but I dont think that will work with a 24-pin motherboard will it? It doesent have a 4 pin cpu connector either.
Summary: My powersupply went down, I figured it was a simple problem and just replaced it with a new one 230 Watt but now my computer wont boot. No beeps at all. I took the heatsink out and the "blue rectangle...
