Early chipset initialization can be very hard to pin down. It can be anything from a simple spacer under the mobo shorting it out, to a power supply, to a bad drive or ram. Because of the timing, I would start by disconnecting the cdrom drive(s) at the mobo connection and try to boot. Then, if you have any spares, replace the memory. If you have 2, try one chip at a time. It is a process of elimination. It could just be a failed mobo, but unlikely coincidence.
