Bad motherboard was the issue.

Ordered a new mobo. Will post back when it arrives and I see if that was where the failure occurred.

Tried memtest but I guess it didn't get far enough to boot from the CD. 4 beeps, no input to monitor, shutdown and restart after about 10 seconds. Just at the 8 or 9 second mark the cd\dvd reader begins spinning up but nothing different aside from that.

EDIT: It was a bad motherboard. So my computer seems to have crapped out on me. I figure I may have to replace the guts but I thought I'd start a thread and see if anyone might have any ideas first. If nothing else maybe I'll get an idea of which components to start with. It would be nice if it...
