Motherboard beeps fine but unable to boot (not showing CPU speed)

I am unable to boot into my desktop all of a sudden.

What happens is that it beeps fine, but at the boot point where its supposed to always flash the clock speed, its stuck right before there.

What could a reason for this?

	Obvious question, but have you double checked that all memory modules, expansion cards, cables etc. are well seated in their sockets? – ChrisF Mar 7 '10 at 12:54
	I know it sounds pretty obvious, but I haven't heard of a CPU failing for no reasons. What happened was I was in desktop, then everything froze, rebooted and now its stuck as it is. – nubela Mar 7 '10 at 12:55
	If it wasn't for the beep I'd say it sounds like the motherboard's dead. My machine did exactly the same - it froze and then wouldn't reboot, except there was no beep. – ChrisF Mar 7 '10 at 13:06
	model numbers would be useful! – Shevek Mar 7 '10 at 13:22
