Desktop problem, HELP

Hi, I have a desktop running the following:

WinXP SP3 (pretty sure)
AMD Athlon XP, not overclocked
ASUS A7N8X-X mobo
Antec True 380W
1gb ram
ATI Radeon 9something00 pro

I built it myself about 6 years but haven't really been updating parts or anything, just made a few random add-ons (ram, a 5.1 PCI sound card)

Now my problem: for the past, maybe 2 years, I've had this problem where the desktop would restart a few times before actually booting up to windows. Today, it just died after a few seconds. One try it died after getting to the windows log-on screen. Another time it died after a few seconds of loading. I had a thought it might've been a hardware problem before, but b/c everything else ran fine, I didn't bother pursuing the problem. Now it doesn't even start and I don't know where to start. Any advice?? Thanks in advance!
