It does not have a cdrom drive, so I tried booting linux from a usb dvd

Since it doesn't respond to f12 to change the boot menu, it would appear
to be hosed, like maybe the bios got trashed from a virus or something.
Has anyone seen this before?
More likely a RAM error or a fan fault causing it to refuse to power up.
You'll need to find the manual for it and see if you can get any codes
from it.

A ram error would send continuous beeps, but this only beeps when any
key is pressed, then stops beeping when the key is let up.
