Well short of swapping parts it can be hard to determine the problem. Could be motherboard, power supply, CPU, ram, video card (if not onboard).
I realized that. I was hoping somone who builds/repairs computers on a regular basis would comment on the chances that a Core 2 Duo chip failed vs. the motherboard failing. I've ordered a replacement CPU that isn't costing me much $. If that doesn't get the machine booting it is a MB failure. Possibly the common issue with bad caps (although none are obviously bad)? Caps can be replaced more easily than the replacing the MB. I'll see what happens after I can swap the CPU. -- Cheers!
