My kids were on my PC and screen went blank. I switched off and on again and after BIOS info is displayed the screen just remains blank. There is also no beep and HDD light goes off. I cannot boot in any other mode from F8 either. I also reset CMOS jumper but that didn't do any good. Any ideas please?
