Was on my other computer up until about 15 minutes ago, running nothing but MSN - computer freezes completely, I hit the reset button and it doesn't get past the POST screen. Do it again and the screen = black.
Now when I switch it on all I get is a blank screen and the monitor power light flickers as if it's on standby. I tried resetting the BIOS with the jumper to no avail.
One thing I noticed - the green power light on the computer doesn't go on when I press the power button, yet the fans start spinning, CD-ROM lights up, Hard-Drive light comes on and it spins as usual. Weird.
Is it completely screwed?

I don't mean to patronise - but it could be something to do with the monitor/graphics card? The VGA cable maybe dislodged?
