I had this happen recently (BTW it was FBSD server ;-) )! I took _everything_ appart, and then assembled it little by little checking at each step. Incredibly it just workd after reseating the CPU, RAM, and re-connecting every single component. Also, I swapped components with a similar machine for testing which will help you test the components on a known-working machine.
