David -

Sorry about the problems.
Only thing I can suggest is to look at the PCI cards during bootup
attempt to see if any of them have the indicator LEDs stuck lit, which
means it's hung up at that card and not allowing the bootup process to progress.
On mine it's usually the Initio Miles UW card that controlls my startup drive.

I occasionally run into this and the the symptom is a blank white screen
with nothing else happening.
Sometimes the screen is black.

My established solution is to yank out the non-Apple Ultimate Rez card
and swap in the 4 mb Twin Turbo (also non-Apple) card that came with the
machine and get the machine booted.
Then I can shut down and reinstall the UltRez and for reasons unknow I'm
good to go for a long period with no problems.

Just relaying what works for me and wanted to mention the stuck LED so
you have something to look for.

Alan
