Oh dear. Is it possible heat cycling has unseated any cables? Sata plugs good culprits. I'd listen (and watch) the fans and drives to check everything is getting power.

Might be worth resetting the CMOS if all else fails - this can either be done by removing the battery or jumpering a socket on the board for that purpose, but this is getting a bit radical. Self test passing okay with no beeps?
