briefly skip thro what happened
was watching avi when pc froze
reset produced dead screen
only way to get screen back is to remove cmos battery
this gets me to screen where you can choose the bios OR F1 to load windows where everything works fine until you restart then nothing
remove battery again and you get to same screen as above
go into bios, do nothing, save and exit, back to dead screen
so i cant even set bios to boot from cdrom to load awdflash
is this a virus(bloody good one) or a motherboard fault?
any advice gladly received

have already tried:
new battery
graphics card
memory

looking like the motherboard
