That may be a unhappy coincidence. Are there any beeps being emmited from
the machine, even if the graphics card doesn't work or is not inserted into
the slot you should get error beeps of some kind. If you don't get these,
and definitely can verify that power is getting to the PC and monitor is
working then it sounds like the motherboard has had it's chips. It
certainly may require the services of an enginneer if the PC doesn't seem to
be going through it's power on self test. If the BIOS is running then it
should be doing this.

Tristram, thanks for that, but my friend has Informed me that the Bios
Upgrade went off all right, and the system was rebooted, it was later that
the problem Occured, when she had to reboot the system for another reason.
Then the Computer wouldn't start again.

This sounds like the BIOS upgrade hasn't gone that well, been interrupted
mid way through, or perhaps even the wrong BIOS upgrade file was used. In
these situations the BIOS chip on the motherboard has to be replaced
usually. This is why most manufacturers and those who've done this sort of
thing before warn that great must be taken before considering flashing a
BIOS or firmware on a peice of electronic equipment.

Subject: [access-uk] black out?
hi guys, sorry about this, but I'm trying to help a friend out here.
She had been having some problems with her Epsom Printer. When she got out
the engineer from the company. He told her there was nothing wrong with the
printer, but it was a problem with her memory. He said the computer memory
was running over, and that an upgrade was needed. Anyway, he upgraded the
printers driver, and the printer then worked okay.
My friend then had the problem of her memory needing upgraded. She asked on
some forum or other for advice, and was told to update the computers Bios as
well. She did so, using a Bios upgrade program, that came with the mother
board. According my friend, the upgrade went all right, and the program told
her to reboot for the effects to take place, but when she shutdown the
system for reboot. Waited for sometime for the computer to boot into
Windows, but noticed that the system was not doing anything. Nothing came up
on the monitor at all, the screen just stayed blank, not even the usual
check before booting into Windows. She is running XP Pro.
Anyone got any Ideas, what has gone wrong. It looks to me like it has
something to do with the Bios upgrade. Is there anyway she can reverse the
Bios upgrade, or is it something completely different, she is having the
problem with.
