Since this morning my computer suddenly is hanging during post. It happens just after seconds annd then it hangs on this screen.

The little line in the upper left corner still blinks, but the computer isn't responsive and the only option left is to turn it off using the power button. There are no beeps, no blinking lights on the motherboard.
I suspect it's a RAM related issue, but I'm not sure. All fans are working just fine, HDD's spinning as usual. DEFINITELY hope it's not a motherboard issue...
What I tried
- I can still get into BIOS, triple checked everything - but nothing seems out of order
- Taking RAM sticks out, trying different slots or just a single module
- Tried running RAM at its rated speed of 1600MHz, and also 1033MHz
- Unplugged everything except the bare essentials
- Also tried a totally different stick of RAM
- And a different boot drive
Specifications
AMD Phenom II X3 720 2,8GHz
OCZ Platinum 4GB DDR3 1600MHz (running at 1333MHz since I built the computer in early 2009)
Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4890 1GB
Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB
Samsung Spinpoint F1 750GB
CoolerMaster SilentPro 700W
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Anyone got any idea how to solve this? You would have my eternal gratitude
