Welcome and Sorry to hear of your issue.
Im thinking at the least maybe the bios chip is corrupt.
But you were in the bios Once.
No red leds ? What exactly do you see upon boot attempt?
What country r u in ?
Hi chrsplmr. Yes I'm thinking the same thing, but I also thought about the crashfree bios etc and all that seems irrelevant at this point.
What I see on boot:
No LED's (CPU_Crazy\high\normal) DDR, northbridge/whateverelsethereis etc show on the motherboard whatsoever EXCEPT the hdd activity orange led near the dimm's. Harddrive light on the case is on for a bit on cold boot then turns off with no further activity.
I also have the Corsair airflow pro on the corsair ram. It goes thru it's led init phases then once it's finished there is no ram activity whatsoever.
If it helps, here's a video showing what it's doing.

PS: there is more information leading to the crash that i should have mentioned.
In BF3 shortly before the crash, system speed (fps, general responsiveness) was slightly lower than usual. I think there was a 20 fps hit to fps in bf3 or so. machine had locked a month prior to all this happening. it locked with a hard-lock while playing a YouTube video and looping sound. No BSOD displayed. Had done this a few times with no hardware settings changes made or new hardware added.
