PC not always booting

Hi guys 

Hoping to get a bit of help with a boot issue.

I have put a PC together from a few spare parts and one or two new ones, it's just going to sit in my front room to be used for casual gaming. It was working fine when I built it but left it sitting for a few months.

When i turned it on the screen goes blank and it fails to even show the bios so I unplugged it checked the cables and rebooted all was fine but when I try to reboot it goes blank again. I tested the on-board graphics and the same thing happens. If I fiddle and unplug it boots but a reboot will not work.

Help please.

Monitor, PSU, Cables, Motherboard. Could be anything.

Probably gaming or helping technophobes with tech...

The problem has changed now. It goes to the bios shortcut screen (us megatrends) and just sits there.
