Re: How screwed is my PC?
Unplug the power cord and hold the power button for one minute. This is a reset that dissipates static. Power it up. If that doesn't work take out the memory and power it up. If there are no beeps the mobo is likely gone. Even if you get no beeps with the memory out try reseating all cables, power, video, pci devices, etc.
