Okay, here's the latest report. Reseating the memory didn't do a thing. During checking that, I attempted to boot a few times, and only got as far as the pre-GUI Windows startup (once) before the machine rebooted itself. Most of the time I would get the motherboard's brand graphic, get through the post, and then boom.
The hard drive was working extra hard, btw, before booting; I heard multiple clicking sounds from it before the boot "caught". So much as I hate to consider it, maybe the drive is indeed going. Even so, I'm going to order the new PS on general principle in a few minutes.
bmull, no, I don't have access to a POST card. I will try your suggested course of action tonight.-- Bob

One of the primary differences between the Left and the Right is their attitude toward the Future. The Radical wants the Future to have gotten here yesterday. The Reactionary wants the Future quietly shot and the corpse buried where no one can find it.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
