Moved my computer across town. Notably high-static environment. Fearing this static might have toasted my motherboard. I power on, and, quite literally, nothing happens. All fans power on normally. Graphics card never spools on, everything thats on IDE and ATA channels powers on, but no notable drive activity. No Bios (nothing even gets to the display because the graphics card wont power on). The heatsink on the processor gets extremely hot, extremely fast, and I'm reluctant to even keep the machine on for more than a few seconds. I've tried replacing the graphics card with one that draws power from the board, and not from the power supply, and still nothing.
I literally installed a new (and more than ample) power supply last month. I realize static can do anything, but this just isn't my typical experience with power supplies failing. e.g at least completing 1/2 the boot sequence, but here: nothing at all
ASUS SK8N, AMD Athlon 64 FX51
