open it up and unplug the drives from the board, then try switching it on. Does it give an error? If so, then plug the boot drive back in and try starting it up and see if it gets any further. Sounds like a mobo problem, but it could just be a bad ide port, a duff device or a bridged pin somewhere. Randomly unplugging stuff, hitting it and swearing at it occasionally perturbs the problem out of existence

EDIT:

oh, and it could be duff ram as well. Try removing and/or replacing some of the memory or making sure everything's bedded in properly
