there could be two chances:-

1) processor prob.-may b its extra heated up due to high temp.wat u can do is open up ur processor fan, clean it and apply paste(ask any comp. eng) on processor .keep inside of ur case clean & make sure no wires are blocking the air passages of case.its best to tie or tape them.

2)Motherboard-many chances r that ur motherboard is damaged/permanently stop working.
i had the 100% same prob. 3 yrs back & in my case the motherboard was no more!.if ur system is 5-6 yrs old there r high chances of faulty M.B.In that case u need to buy a new one to replace it.

check ur mother board manual....
if the problem is with RAM, there u can c the symptoms....
can u hear the beep sou0nd??? for every pattern of the beep sound, there is some particular reason behind it.....

Try resetting the BIOS by removing the battery....instructions will be there in the manual...

Go check the drive light if it is blinking. Are you sure that the monitor and Pc cable is working correctly? Maybe the cable is broken. You can easily buy one from and electronic store.
