Reseat your RAM chips.  Most likely they got bumped loose in shipping.

Battery was my next guess too since it's been sitting so long without being turned on. No dice. Just installed a brand new one and hit the clear CMOS jumper. It's doing the same thing. Super frustrating.

The stuff was stored in a moving container, which was itself stored in an air conditioned warehouse in Miami. My computer's only about 1.5 years old and it's all quality parts which were, as I mentioned, working perfectly befor I stored them.

I got some compressed air. Next step is to get rid of all the dust, reseat the CPU and clean the contacts on all the RAM and cards. Beyond that it's a damned crap shoot between MB and processor. Or maybe even the video card. I was at least able to rule out RAM because I have multiple sticks so I tried booting with various configurations. Unfortunately, I don't have a testbed to check the processor or extra motherboards lying around.
