All things considered, I think the appropriate answer is, "It's busted, take it to a repair company".

OK, have it your way.

Power off, open the case, check that the RAM is seated right, (take it out and replace it carefully), also the CPU. Check these by substituting known good items. Check that all cables and connections are properly made and undamaged, check that the power supply is functioning correctly, check that the motherboard is not damaged. If anything is found to be faulty, replace it. Reassemble and test. Close case.
