Will it boot from your OS 9 cd? I noticed that you didn't list that in things you'd tried.
Other than that, I can't think of anything that it might be but a hardware problem... Do you run a lot of highly intense apps? Your processor might not have liked the heat from that and the gig of ram. Could be an error in the ide controller. Your tech is probably correct, the motherboard may be history... Any electrical spikes via power or phone that could've gotten to the PB?
