I hate comp problems, please diagnose!

My comp recently died, couldnt figure out what happened because it happened a few minutes after flashing the bios of my Infinity. So, I thought I fried the mobo somehow because the comp wouldn't start, it just flashed the lights a few times on the front, then stopped that and just kept on without doing anything. I ordered a new Infinity (this is my third mind you) and it worked once and is now showing the same symptoms. I turn the system on and the HDD led is solid, the CD roms are solid, then they all just turn off and the comp sits there with the power button on. It did turn on once, showed the bios, but then I had to restart it and it just sat there. Just like in the previous DFI death, resetting all the bios settings to default had no avail. Now I'm worried that it is either my CPU or 9800pro, but I doubt it for some reason.

If I pull the molex out of the 9800, it should display an error on booting, would this reveal anything?

If I pull the CPU out and try to boot it, should it just sit there?

Should I put in a speaker and see if there are error beeps?

This is confusing the hell outta me... I really need some advise. Thanks in advance!
 
have you tried running MEMTEST?
do it and lest see if you get errors
 
Swap out the PS.

Hopefully it's not killing the hardware it is attached to.
 
Problem solved... itself...

Turned it on today and everything is working like nothing happened, and it actually clocks a little bit higher than it did before. Who knows.
