GA Z68XP UD3P Boot Loop

[Frantiq]

Hey.
I've been using this machine for a half a year or so:
CPU: i5 2500k
GPU: nVidia 560 Ti
MB: GA Z68XP UD3P
RAM: G. Skill Sniper (2x4gb)
PSU: Antec 850w

I would like to find a solution, even if it's tedious and temporary, to get this thing to boot.
I got it from a friend, so it probably isn't covered by any kind of warranty.

I've read everything here.

• Tediously swapped out every part with a confirmed working acceptable counterpart.
• Cleared the CMOS more times than I care to count.
• Unplugged everything, removed the battery, and let it sit overnight.
• Moved the RAM around, tried RAM from my other computer.
• Breadborded it.

It does seem to work, because I managed to make it boot once by sheer luck yesterday.
Unfortunately, I tripped on the bloody PSU cable trying to jump up to the monitor and open up the BIOS, and actually cut off power by accident.

Any ideas?

What is your BIOS version? make sure it was up to date and check your mb to see if any short or not
