if this does not correct the problem, disconnect all extra hardware other than the bare minimum: memory, VC and CPU...now, enter the bios and try to change the clock a small amount to see if it saves...good luck!
What you said didn't work, but here's what did. Video card out and startup...goes all the way to the final POST code where it would normally start windows. So I went out and bought a new card, Visiontek HD4870. Kind of an unexpected upgrade but now I have a faster card as a result. Works fine now, all is well. I even replaced the stupid battery on the mobo cause I was so lost

Thanks for your help.
