The same thing happened to me with my old motherboard the other day, fans spinning but no POST, no beeps, monitor = "no signal". I did the same things that you did, but after removing the memory I got some angry sounding beeps. I could then boot with one module in, reset BIOS settings, switch it off and pop the second module back in and I was back in business. I have no idea why it did that but it works now.

So I'm thinking yours should at least have complain-beeped when you switched it on with no memory?

Maybe that means the CPU has died?
