What are the complete system specs for this computer? List the parts by brand and model including the power supply.

You really want to never, ever run a modern computer without the CPU heatsink installed.

Try taking the CD out of the equation, a DOA optical drive can prevent a system start.

Post back your results.

No, he's saying a defective optical drive connected to your computer can prevent it from booting up. Disconnect the optical drive (power and data cables) and then try to see if the computer will boot up properly.
