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.
