Truth is, you have no clue.

I did think it was a bad rail on the PSU, yes, but I'm not sitting over top of it trying to diagnose it either. It was perfectly logical to assume a PSU.
With fans and other things seeming to start running and then quit there would have been just enough voltage getting to the video card itself to have even a brief look at something trying to display there. But "nothing" came up on screen at all? Besides a bios chip itself there are other things that can go bad there like diodes and capacitors. Speaking of bad caps, http://www.badcaps.com/
