Sounds like either:
1) the power on the back of the case is set to 230 rather than 115
if your in the US or the other way around if you're in Europe.
or
2) something (the CPU - usually, or a card or the memory) is not seated
correctlly
or
3) the power connection ot the mainboard is not in right.
Try one of these, if they don't help it could be one of the components is bad. You're not getting into the BIOS (the black screen) and that in my experience is either the power option on the case or the CPU not seated correctly.
Hope this helps.

this is not a linux-specigic question, but maybe somebody can help: after
putting together my new box (aopen ax67c m/b, celeron 333, 64 mb sdram,
ati rage graphics, atx case) and turning it on, it does nothing - the
screen stays black, keyboard LEDs don't react. However, the cpu fan works
and the hdd seems to go round, too. Any ideas?--
