computer won't boot problems

Hi,

I'm having problems with my Dual 2Ghz Athlon MP computer. I've had it for over a year and all has been fine. My setup is 2x Athlon MP2000, 1gig Samsung ECC, Tyan S2466N-4M. I have tried various video cards including Radeon 8500 and Voodoo 3 and it doesn't boot up.

So within the last week my computer was having some odd issues, it was rebooting itself every now and then. I decided it was a power problem and pulled out some extra PCI cards that i didn't really need. It seemed to quell the problem as it didn't reboot as often. Then yesterday it just started rebooting wierdly again. When i woke up this morning the computer didn't have a video display, so i rebooted it. When i reboot it, it doesn't display anything to the screen, though the HD does spin up and the fans turn on. I pulled out everything but the RAM, CPU, vid card, and a few fans. It still doesn't boot up correctly. The HD LED on the front of my case also doesn't light up anymore when i turn on the computer.

A few things of the past, the internals of my case have been running at 40-45deg C, and the processors run at average at 55 deg C. There have been a few cases where the processors have gone up to 80deg C because a fan died, but i have caught most of those cases within a shor time and the computer still worked fine. Also i don't get any sounds or beeps so i think the RAM is okay

Can anybody help me diagnose the problem? I think it is either the M/B or one of the Processors. I don't have access to other CPUs/MBs offhand, so i want to be sure of what is broken before i go buy a replacement. Please respond ASAP, i'm in school and most of my work is on the computer. Thanks
