The "approved method" for dealing with this situation is to remove everything that is in a slot:
all PCIe cards including the graphics card
all drives
all DVD readers (can just be cable-disconnected)
any external devices
You are going for the Chime, or a blinking power-on light.
If you get that, then you add back one item at a time and restart after each until something stops your progress.
If no chime, remove the RAM DIMMs as well and try again.

what does it do, exactly, when you push the power button?
Power LED on, but my screen has no apple logo show and no sound.
Do the fans come on at a controlled level or not at all, or full force?
What does the power-on indicator light do? on solid? blinking a small integer "code" ?
The fans come on and the power-on indicator is light solid too.
On the display, does any background appear, or is it in a dark "uninitialized" state?
just dark
I think that my Quadro K5000 card caused this issue.
thanks lot!
