Your post is ambiguous.  Do you mean you have added new hardware to a PC that was working prior to adding the new hardware and now it cannot boot to Windows as it used to do?  If so, remove the new hardware you added and see if it will boot then.  

If this is a computer you have built yourself and never started before now, you have to install Windows XP or some other operating system using the installation CD.

rais79...

Taking into consideration pcdoc4christ's post....another thing you might want to check is your power supply.

Just because your CPU fan is running, doesn't mean you have power.  If the power supply is connected properly and working...you should be able to open the CD drive bay door.  Take a whiff of your power supply, does it smell like it's burnt?  If so, you may want to consider replacing your power supply.
