Most likely the motherboard is failing. I though it might be the hard drive but now it looks more like the motherboard is the culprit.
None of this is really good news persay. I sort of don't know what to do at this point, since I have to head to bed in a few minutes. I'll check this again tonight when I wake up. Thanks for your help so far.

Without any drives connected the system should post but if it is not doing that then I have to believe the board is faulty.

If it is indeed the motherboard your only choice is replacement.

Well it's seeming like the motherboard.... Now what do I do?

I found this one HERE at NewEgg which should be close to your motherboard using the same cpu and memory.

You need to find a motherboard that will use your CPU and Memory so that those two items will not have to be replaced. Do you know what cpu you have..Intel I imagine but which one?

What about the 3 year warrantee on my ASUS mobo? I'm kinda considering buying new components and recycling my current stuff into a new tower as a backup PC.

What kind of budget would you be looking at from low to high?

Getting hold of Asus first would be the correct decision to see if they would replace it for you. Building a new up to date computer would be good if your finances would allow it. The question is do you want to go with a barebones and add the other components, buy a complete system or custom build everything from the ground up.

I was looking at these components;
Video card - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814130625
CPU - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819115072
Motherboard - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813131701
Or
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813131790
RAM - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820231314
Or
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820231428
Thoughts?
On one hand, I really don't want to spend any . On the other, I was planning on upgrading my components this July anyways, since my PC is about 4 years old. :/

OK are you running a 64 bit OS because if you are not planning to then you have way to much memory then in your list.
If you are then take a look at this HERE
Yep, 64 bit windows 7. Which of the two motherboards are better? Same question for the RAM (since they seem identical, even in price).

OK just wanted to make sure you had that option just in case you wanted to save a few dollars.
Well I ordered all parts, and spent about $700. Everything should be here by Tuesday. Also got ahold of ASUS and they emailed me the info I need to RMA my motherboard and send it to them.
Last time I got a new motherboard, I missed a cable which ended up making my PC not boot, and didn't figure out what it read for a few days. Could I continue posting in this thread for walk through help with installing my new motherboard come Tuesday? I don't really want to make the same silly mistake again.
