Computer won't POST! Help!

Specs:
Core 2 Duo E6600
Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi/AP
Mushkin 2GB RAM
Windows XP SP2

So I decided to restart my computer since it was getting a little sluggish from having a ton of windows open for weeks straight. It wouldn't reboot right away so I got impatient and gave it a hard reboot. Now, the computer won't POST at all.

I reseated the RAM in all seats, reseated the video card, cleared the CMOS and replaced the battery but nothing works. Everything powers on, fans run regularly, video card runs, but there's no POST beep at all.

speaker plugged in?

sry couldn't resist

Seriously though, pull the ram and try one stick at a time. Also unplug everything except kb/mouse/monitor

One stick of RAM and the system boots. Funny because it didn't work last time I tried it :| Now this will be the 2nd time that I've had to RMA my RAM.

Great, now it says that my chassis has been intruded, fatal error, system halted.

Cleared CMOS again, now it's finally booting. I guess I have to RMA the RAM again
