Does anything appear on the monitor?
Do you hear any beeps?
Try resetting the BIOS if you answer no to both questions
To reset the BIOS, take the following steps:
1. Power down computer
2. Take countermeasures against electro-static discharge (http://www.computerhope.com/esd.htm)
3. Remove computer casing
4. Inspect mainboard for a CMOS jump switch or CMOS battery
In case of CMOS jump switch:
Follow instructions provided with the mainboard manual.
In case of CMOS battery:
I. Remove CMOS battery for approximately 10-15 seconds.
II. After 10-15 seconds, place the CMOS battery back.
5. Power on system.
Do not power on the system when CMOS jumper is set to clear_cmos or when CMOS battery is non-present.

Try reseating the hardware. Something may have gotten loose whilst moving it.
