I am sure you have already checked Rob, but is the little 6 pin power 
connector wire connected? With those 64 bit processors, as well as the main 
power connector to the mobo, there is another smaller (6 pin I think) power 
supply which also must be connected. As the system was working, I assume it 
has been connected - but maybe it worked loose? I know from experience with 
my first 64 bit processor, that without that lead connected, nothing happens! 
I would certainly go through the entire box and remove and replace each lead 
and card to check for loose seating - it does happen from time to time.
