You might try cleaning the edge connectors on your peripheral cards.  It's
important to get a good electrical connection between the motherboard and
the "fingers" on the card.  Other than that, you said that the system test
comes out OK and the cards are OK (did you test them in someone else's
computer?).  That being the case, I can't think of anything else that might
be wrong, other than some motherboard failure--maybe the cards don't get
power, for example.  If disk drives won't work, maybe the +12V supply is
dead--but that would cause the entire system to die, not just the drives.
