Technology - fail and win

Fail = put the PC to sleep last night ... wouldn't even POST this morning :o

Win = google the symptoms ("my PC won't beep on boot" :lol:

) and got a fix ... all from the comfort of my Kindle.

PC now running

Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

BIOS gave itself a crapping I think ... pulled out the battery, rebooted and reset the BIOS, put the battery back in - voila! Mad ...
