It appears that you're hitting the brakes at the Intel logo during POST.
See if you can get into the BIOS and disable the logo under a tab named -? Boot ?- or similar. If present Disable - Intel Rapid Boost (skips some tests during boot when enabled) and/or Silent Boot ( Presents the logo when enabled). Pressing F2 just after booting should, but not necessarily get you into the BIOS setup, different keys/combos can/are used depending on the machine manufacturer and BIOS.
Once you've made any BIOS changes, saved and rebooted, watch the POST screen to see that the RAM, Drives, KB/Mouse and any USB are detected. Also take note as to the approximate exact time the system screeches to a halt.
You also may want to have a peek inside the box to clean out any accumulated dust, make sure the fans are working properly, all cables/connections/RAM modules and/or adapters are properly seated.
