   You need to establish some kind af baseline. 
 Unplug all the flat cables from the motherboard, not the drives. 
 Remove all plug in cards except the video, and the keyboard.

 Leave the floppy power plugged in (make sure you are not off by a pin here on
the little white connector - I have done that!).

 Power up, you should see the bios version and a memory test.

 If it does not get this far then stick any old colour video card in and try
again.

 If it still fails you may have bad memory/MB.

 Remove as much memory as you can. Pentiums usually require 2 sticks, 486's
need only one. A 4MB or two will do for testing.

 Hopefully you will see video.
 Then power off and plug in just the floppy cable, boot to dos.
 Build up from there,  single hard drive, hard drive with cdrom etc

 Mail me off-list if you need more help
