when I power it, the LED between the AGP slot and the first PCI slot
lits up bright green, and the CPU fan makes a quarter of a turn before
stopping, and nothing else happens. It all started when I was away, had
left the computer on, when I returned it was dead and with the front
power LED blinking. I turned it off, and it has never booted again.
I've changed the CPU fan, the nb fan, the drives. Can it be the power
supply, is the MB probably dead, or what?

Sounds like a dead power supply.

My p4p800-e did the same thing. In my case it was stuck in suspend
mode. I had to pull the cpu and clear the cmos. Replace the cpu and
have the mb redetect it.
