I have a problem.....

Power in my house went out sometime in the middle of the night. I usually leave my system on throughout the night, so it was shut off when the power went out. After the power came back on, I went to boot up the system, but it's not posting.

It starts to boot, as in the fans come on, I can hear the hard drive seeking, but I never see anything on the screen and I never hear a boot beep. The wireless keyboard and mouse are also not initialized. The monitor is only displaying that it is functioning correctly, but there is no signal.

System is as follows:

p4c800e delux mobo
p4 2.8Ghz; not overclocked
1 gig Mushkin lvl2 2,2,2,6; not overclocked
36 gig WD raptor HD
XFX 6800 GT vid card
SB Audigy 2 zs
Sonata case with standard 380w PSU

Anyone have any ideas, or methods for narrowing down the problem? I don't really have any spare parts to plug and play with either.

Thanks for any help offered,
Ryan

You might try clearing the CMOS, if you didn't already: unplug system, remove CMOS battery, change the jumper to the Clear position for 15 seconds or so, replace battery and plug it in again.
