Everyone goes about troubleshooting differently, here's one approach:
Get the most basic system to boot, just motherboard and RAM, so disconnect everything else. Will it boot to the BIOS/startup page successfully?
At this step the system may give errors about missing devices there were previously connected, to clear this it may help to enter the setup/bios screen and then use the option save and continue.
Can you get a successful boot at this step? If you can, continue adding one device, like a CD player, per boot until you get an error or everything starts sucessfully.
If you cannot boot past the motherboard and RAM (try new RAM if possible) but if you cannot get it past this step there is probably hardware damage that can't be fixed (at least in those parts).
