Troubleshoooting help

It's been so long since I've had to troubleshoot hardware like this I could use some help.

My home machine will look like it's booting normally (LEDs for power & HDD activity look normal), but it will do that for around the normal boot time then stop with the monitor remaining blank.

Things, I've been able to check/test:

1) Monitor works when connected to my laptop
2) HDD works when slaved to another machine

I guess that basically leaves the MB and the memory. I'm ruling out the video card because even after it "boots", I cannot remote into it, so I know it's not functional.

Edit: Guess I should give some info about the system

CPU: P4 2.4 Socket 478
MB: Gigabyte GA-SINX1394
RAM: 2x256 Crucial
Video: Radeon 9700Pro
