I cann't even get into bios, that is the problem. By flash I guess you mean reset the bios and make it redetect ?

I might add that I do have power supply , it seems like everything that needs it is getting power,though since I cannot get into bios I cannot tell what may be dead.
If I had harddrive failure you would still be able to get into bios If I have monitor failure , that could be a possibility, though it does say "no signal" and the neon led lights up, which to my mind indicates it wants to work. If I had a graphic's card failure I ought to be able to get into bios at least ? If Mobo then I guess it has to be a real possility. Anything there could block my access to bios for instance ??

Well I'm blowed. I'm back up to desktop.
I kept on powering on and off and eventually it booted.
Now that is a mystery to me.
In a way I don't like that situation, could happen again.
I'm resting on the thesis that I must of had a momentary powercut this morning that crashed everything, the first reboot was automatic and ended in a post fsck hangup for some unknown reason, which I then shutdown hard, and for some reason that seems to of screwed the bios detection process for a while .Odd though.
I think i need to start doing some testing ?
John
I think I have found the problem.
My graphics card , gforce3 has a small fan on it and it's hardly turning at all. I bet that is the problem, can one buy replacements?
