In order of likelihood, from my rather extensive experience: Motherboard, power supply, disk drive, memory. Memory problems are common, but IME don't cause this kind of hang (more likely to prevent booting at all). I've had disks with IDE interfaces do it, but not (so far) SATA ones.
But these things are the worst, as you simply get no diagnostic clues when the machine simply stops working.
