I have a problem I've never seen or heard of before. First my basis system specs:
Athlon 800Mhz
EP-7KXA MB
O/S 98SE

I leave my system running 24/7; security packages include anti-virus, spy-bot, spyblaster, Zone Alarm, manually checked for update daily. Last night everything was operating fine. This morning, screen saver image was frozen and so was computer. I hit re-set button, system immediately started up in a way I've never seen before. No video, (black screen), dead silence on "POST", (normally I get the single beep "OK") Both cd and dvd lights flashed on, hard drive geen light went on and stayed on, power was on, fans were working, BUT no floppy light went on. Normal sequence is HD, floppy, and CD. Tried floppy disk boot-up, floppy drive was not recognized (no light again) on subsequent restart, and same results. Same was true on CD bootup attempt, (althought light appeared on drive, nothing happened). Checked all memory and video card by swaps with known working product, all good. Monitor is fine. System does not shut itself down. Oh, and system is run through a UPS and I had no indication that anything happened electrically during night. Seems only thing left is M/B? But I had no indication of M/B problems and if it were M/B,under this situation where so many operations are functioning, would'nt I get "POST" error beeps indicating an M/B problem?
Thanking in advance,

Maurice Reid
