Hi and welcome to Geeks to Go. Try removing all ram, then boot. You should hear beep codes. If you don't hear beep codes your motherboard went bad. (this assumes your system speaker work). If you do hear beep codes, put one stick of ram back and try again.

NOOO! Turn it off. Use an anti static wrist band when working inside of the computer, or at least ground youself on a metal part of the chassis.

Does this mean you did not hear any beep codes? Was your system speaker working before this happened? (it beeps once during boot up).

You are going to need a bootable cd (your windows install cd or a system recovery cd in order to boot the machine to do any troublshooting. The only alternative is visual inspection and component swapping.
