Computer posts but will not boot. Stops at splash screen and cannot enter bios

I've been using a A-bit IP-35 Motherboard with a Core 2 E6750 OCed to 3.55Ghz for almost 2 years with no issues. It has 2GB of Crucial Ballistix DDR2 667mhz.

I restarted the computer today and it gets stuck on the splash screen. The display output is as follows.

Main processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.60ghz(200x8.0), 1 CPUs
Memory Testing: 2048K OK
C1E Bios Supported
Memory Frequency for DDR2 480 (Dual Channel Mode)
After the memory frequency line it says nothing else, and the computer hangs. It does not allow me to enter bios at any point. What's strange is that even if I remove a 1GB stick of memory it still says 2048k at memory testing.

I tried resetting cmos already, and trying each memory stick individually. The issue still is there.

Any suggestions or ideas? I'm at a loss as for what to do next, and I can't say for sure what component is at fault.

Did you try to wait it out? How long?

Try disconnecting the Hard Disk / CD,DVD Drives and see where that gets you. A failing HD can cause these symptoms.
