Asus K8N will not boot - power LED but no fan, no anything
First of all - man I haven't been to these forums in a looooong time. I used to be a regular/lurker, then I ran out of money and time =). Glad my account is still around.
My computer was freezing up while playing games so I figured heat was the problem. I popped open the case to clean it out. Dusted the components, cleaned up the cables, and when I got ready to fire it back up again nothing happened...
I can see a good, green power LED on the board when I connect power to the PSU, showing that the mobo is getting power. Pushing the power button results in...nothing. No post, no fans spin up, not even on the PSU. I tried removing components, the vid card, the RAM, the sound card...right now it is just the processor in there, and still nothing happens when I power it on.
I thought the power switch might be bad, so I tried using a jumper on the power switch pins, still no dice. Any ideas, or did my motherboard just kick the bucket on me totally? (or my PSU?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated...not sure if I can afford to start replacing components but I thought I had a perfectly good machine.

Shiiiiiiiiit. Any idea why the CPU would have just crapped out on me like that after working just dandy for a few years?
Computers are weird. But this is a supposition, of course.
