Clear <Zap> Beep beep beep. Reviving thread to save repetition.
My rig has been working for a year, then without notice, turn it on one morning and I get the symptoms in this thread. No POST, every 3 secs tries to switch on for maybe 1/2 sec. No beeps, GD1 and GD2 hard on. A few blue leds christmas tree sparkles.
Two notes:
- It is possible that the successful boot I updated the Graphic drivers (GTX470). Warm reboot was successful.
- It is possible the last known operational state was left to hibernate. I just starting letting the beauti hib'ing.

Things I've done/tried:
- Isolated all from the mobo bar CPU/fan, case fans, mem and PSU (and front case connectors).
- Have installed a cheap PCI bus powered graphics card.
- Have tested and swapped PSU.
- Reset mobo bios factory defaults.
- Pulled the Bios battery and power cable and allow to sit for a while.
- Googled my brain out.
- Thinking of buying a cheap(?) CPU to swap and see.
Any thing else to try? My wife has daggers in the eyes and reminding me of the money I spent.
