Default BIOS Won't Start
This morning, I turned on my PC and it wouldnt boot. My fans and all that would come on, but the BIOS wouldnt run. I was surfing the net last night, and turned it off for the night like I normally do. Nothing out of the ordinary, but this morning, it just wouldn't run. My thoughts are that the motherboard is fried, because it did the same thing to me when I first put it together. Anyone know of any tests I can do myself to see whats wrong?

My specs
ASPIRE X-Gear ATXB5KLW-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower
MSI K8N Neo4-F Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice
eVGA Geforce 6600GT
CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR SDRAM DDR 400
Seagate Barracuda 80GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150
LITE-ON Black IDE Combo Drive Model

Nope, no beeps. Hard drive powers up as well, and is active for half a second but does nothing after that.
