Process of elimination.

Something is keeping that computer from doing its job, some part of it is broken or has come loose, here is what you do to find out which.

Pull them out. One by one until it does beep, or gives you video.

So with the machine unplugged, open it up and unplug the hard drive. Now plug it in and give it a go. Still no video, no beeps? Well it wasn't the hard disk then. Unplug it and go in and plug the hard disk back in & try pulling out some RAM. Still no video no beeps? Put the RAM back in & try the video card.

Keep going this way, removing a piece, trying the computer, and putting it back in until you find some piece somewhere which makes it behave differently. Chances are at some point you will start getting video and/or beeps and you'll know who the culprit was.

When you switch on the PC it does not respond?

Not a good sign! If the machine produces beeps, then you can note down how many beeps it produces and try searching for that number of beeps and bios (for example, if there are 3 beeps try searching for 3 beeps bios). The BIOS produces beeps if it can't boot the PC.If there is literally no response (no lights and no sound), it's probable that the power has failed; try a different power lead and different mains socket. If it isn't the lead and the power socket works, then the PSU in the PC has probably failed and will need to be replaced.
