Roll Eyes Can't boot up not even POST

2 days ago my computer started locking up after about 5 minutes. I tried a warm boot and cold boot. Now all that happens is fans come on, and hard drive light comes on and it seems to cycle between my 2 dvd-rw drives (lights flash on for one then the next and it just keeps repeating).

I have disconnected everything, cleaned dust out, re-connected everything, yet still no joy. If I disconnect the dvd-rw drives it just sits there, and hard drive light lights solid. Am thinking motherboard failure. Here are the stats for my computer, Oh yeah, I did take the CMOS battery out, waited and put it back in (did not replace it).

Motherboard - Asus P5ND2-SLI
CPU - Intel 3.0 ghz
1 gig Ram
Power Supply - BFG 650 Watt
Video - EVGA 7800 GT
Sound - Turtle Beach
DVD-RW -Lite On
Hard Drives - 160 gig Seagate ATA
80 Gig Maxtor

Any ideas?? As I said I can't get it to even Post so cannot load from CD. Trying to get this fixed today, my only day off. Thanks
