Fans spinning up and the system failing to completely power up seems to indicate a motherboard problem to me.

It could be some freak power supply problem, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Got any spare power supplies lying around?
Well, sort of. I could use the Power Supplies out of my slave systems (hardware boxer here), but I need to check that they have the juice needed to bot my main system (it's beefy). It wouldn't surprise me that something else could be the problem, though. I might have to stop by EVGA's community boards and see to it that this has or has not been dealt with there.

In the mean time, I'll look into my other Power supplies as resources to use. I'll make a Death Knight and play with them a bit in order to see if anything iffy happens while playing.

EDIT: I'm not sure it's a MB problem, but I could be wrong. My rational for this is that I was gone for several hours today between shutting the machine down and powering it up. When I got home, it was still messed up (as far the boot process is concerned). Perhaps I have missed something in my limited MB research that still allows this to be a MB problem. But like I said, this machine only booted up after I unplugged it totally and let it sit for a bit.
