System hangs - Ideas?

I have an Abit KT7 w/ latest Via 4in1 drivers. It sits on an UPS, but last night after some storms moved through (with system powered on) it began to act strangely. At power on or reset, it posts the processor speed and then hangs. It won't scan memory, won't let me into BIOS, it just locks. Repeated resets will eventually result in memory scan, whereupon I can access BIOS or let it proceed to boot. So far I have:

CLeared CMOS
Tried to post at processor default speed
Updated BIOS to ZT
Bumped core Volts to 1.85 (was 1.825)

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

 
More info...

Duron 600 oc'd to 1 Ghz (tried default, no joy)
Memory was 384 MB, 1 256 MB Micron PC133 dimm, 1 128 MB Apacer PC133 dimm, running cas3
Norton Diagnostics said 256MB dimm bad, running just 128 MB now, still fails.
Radeon LE 32 MB hacked to Radeon 32 DDR
SoundBlaster Live Value
CenDyne 16x10x40 (TEAC) CD-RW flashed to 1.0B
No name 50x CD-ROM
WD 20 GB 7200 rpm ata66

Nothing has been changed in days, system has been rock stable for months!
Haven't had trouble, then all of a sudden...
Thanks in advance for any ideas
