How goes it tonschk? Any luck? Try pressing that delete key to enter CMOS settings and to to the system monitoring page where you can see motherboard and CPU temperatures. Your clue might be there. If the CPU is overheating, for instance, your thermal paste might not working right due to bubbles or voids and heat is not being transmitted to the heat sink. I've seen that several times with problems identical to yours.
Especially if that shows normal temps, unplug all expansion cards that are not necessary to start your computer and all but one stick of memory. You want to boot up in the simplest possible configuration. If that is successful, try peripherals one at a time until you find the culprit. If it doesn't boot, remove the memory stick and replace it with the other. If your problem is a defective component this could be tough.
