Well ram is probably your culprit it's the most common thing that causes pc to not post.

The hard drive, does it make a sound like a repeated clicking, or something else?

You probably can ignore the hard drive noise, I would check powersupply or motherboard if it reboots. If it just stays black without rebooting I would check gpu/ram. Sure make sure your video cable (hdmi, VGA etc) is connected and your monitor works. After checking that try to reset bios (jumper or battery way)

If you are that concerned about your hdd just disconnect the sata cable (takes half a minute to do so and see if the pc boots but I highly doubt it's the issue)

And it has no gpu *(dedicated gpu)

Ok, let's start there.

Unplug/disconnect everything *not* required to POST.

This means unplug/disconnect sound cards, NIC, hard drives, DVD-ROMS, etc.

Leave the GPU plugged in, CPU/cooling fan, keyboard, and see what happens when you try to power it up

I checked the VGA cable reconnected it but nothing happened.  The pc doesnt show anything on the monitor everything lights up inside it all fans runs and motherboard led also lights up!

Did you try my suggestions?

Have you physically reset the BIOS?
