So Ive had my rig for roughly 2 years now and it held up fine till we had a power outage in September. I've been busy with school so i've just been on my laptop the entire time and had no time to fix the desktop. When I tried to boot up the pc it boots up for 2 seconds and then shuts off it then repeats it self over and over. It doesnt post and I dont even see a BIOS screen. Okay, so I tried resetting the CMOS. This did nothing and now Im saying to myself Im totally screwed. I took out all the ram, video card, optical drive, everything thats peripheral and it does the exact same thing. So I can conclude it isnt the ram like someone else had a problem with earlier. I brought the PSU to work and they used one of those testers and it checked out fine. So the only thing I can conclude is it being the mobo. For clarification I've got:

E6600
Gigabyte DS3 P965
2X1 GB Firestix
2X512 OCZ Gold
Seagate 7200.10 320gb HD
Antec Truepower Trio 550W
Antec P180

And I tried going to gigabyte for an RMA but the damn site is down http://rma.gigabyte.us/ . Does anyone have any clue as to what it could be?
