FWIW, as the BIOS runs, it outputs a number to port 0x80 when it achieves
various steps in the boot cycle. Some mainboards now have LEDs which will
display the number as it advances, and you can know what's wrong by the last step it
reached.

Since it doesn't even count the RAM, I'd check that. Reduce the system to a
single stick of memory. Try different sockets. Borrow another stick from a
known-good machine.

One more possibility-- is it hanging from overheating? Make sure the
heatsink's on and the fan's running (if one's equipped).
