take out the cmos battery for 10 minutes and then re-insert.does that make any difference?? probably try with a new cmos battery too.
make sure the cpu fan is working fine(ie, no obstacles near the fan).make sure the thermal paste on the cpu is not dried out. if yes apply a fresh layer of thermal paste onto the cpu die and check.

thanks again
1) CMOS reseting, i already did it, even i shorted the CMOS jumpers CLR_CMOS, to an extreme extent i removed the battery for full day, and even tried to start the sytem without CMOS battery
2) trying with new battery......YES I WILL DO THAT, AND LET YOU KNO
3) CPU fan, atleast visibly it working, i feel its normal speed, but still i have to check
4)thermal paste- yes i allready did it, i applied and tried starting. but in vain

thanks

Check your PSU if it is underpowering the mobo.

clean the ram carefully, clean the ram slot carefully and try booting. try with another spare stick of ram if possible. make sure the psu is fine. if possible arrange a spare psu. check for any swollen caps on the motherboard.

This. Check your SMPS for any faults first, and see if any capacitors on your board has swollen up(common case). If issues persist, it might be the time you take it to a repair guy...
