So normaly I just leave my PC on all the time. Well I was going to be gone for a week so I decided to turn it off.

I came back today and tried to boot it up.

All that happened was: lit up, everything started, GPU fan went 100% and nothing on the screen. I tried reseating the gpu, ram, and I tried a different video card. All with the same result.

I also tried removing the mobo battery and unplugging the PC.

Any ideas as to what is wrong?
Specs below

Asus p5k Deluxe with wifi
E6850
2gb (2x1gb) Patriot ddr2 1066
2 250gb hard drives
BFG 8800GT OC
watercooling
2 dvdrw drives
tv tuner
and a 720watt PSU
 
Because, I have had similar issues with my last psu, however it worked fine and such. Last time though I eventually got it to work. This is just getting old. I do have one psu, but its a pos and won't work with my system at all.
 
Well, an easy way to test is to remove all unneeded HW from the PSU load (unplug all drives, use only one stick of RAM, etc) and see if it will POST. If so, then the load on the PSU is too much. If not, I guess the next step would be swapping out parts.
 
I found another PSU and tested it and same issue. SO I have found:

Not the GPU
Not the PSU

Could be I just need some memory with lower voltage to boot up and reset everything... pain in the butt though as I don't have any lol
