You need to provide much more information than what you have. Stuff like what motherboard, ram, power supply, etc... You are not giving us that much to go with.

--------------------

It means that there is a problem but you need to identify the cause.

BEFORE TOUCHING ANY INTERNAL COMPONENTS ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE THE POWER SWITCHED OFF AND THE PSU TO MOTHERBOARD POWER CABLE DETACHED FROM THE MOBO.
ENSURE THAT YOU EARTH YOURSELF AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE CASE BEFORE YOU TOUCH ANY COMPONENTS TO ENSURE THERE IS NO STATIC DISCHARGE

0. Remove CMOS battery for at least ten minutes
1. Disconnect all peripheral devices (router, printers, scanners, external HDD etc)
2. Disconnect all drive cables from the mobo
3. Remove all cards except the graphics from the motherboard
4. Remove all the RAM except for one stick in slot 1
5. Replace CMOS battery
5. Reconnect the PSU cable to the motherboard
6. See if she boots up

-If POST fails then check that RAM and GFX are seated properly in their slots and try again.
-If POST fails again try RAM in a different SLOT
-If POST continues to fail then try a different stick of RAM and try it in slot 1 and do the same procedure.
-If there is still a POST failure check the carefully check the CPU and GFX card to see if there is any obvious damage.
-If they are ok re-seat the GFX, CPU and heatsink and try to boot again.
-If still no POST, remove the motherboard from the case and set it on a non-conductive surface and start again at item 1.
-If there is still no joy then check sniff the air coming out of the PSU from and see if it smells burnt. Do Not Open The PSU - There is seriously life-threatening voltage in there!!

Finally, if there is still no joy take the PSU, GFX, RAM and CPU and try them on a different computer.
