Dear Larry (and anyone else following this line who can help),

         I can't even get the BIOS.  No DOS, nothing.  All we see is the
monitor test block.  I tried to clear the BIOS with reset jumper but it
didn't help.  I went to Gigabytes Web Site and found nothing on BIOS
recovery.
          This is a totally new problem for me.  I was wondering if it
could be possible with both my wife and grandson  hitting 2 different
buttons almost simultaneously (which both do hard boots) could this have
somehow given the motherboard an electrical short..or fried it?
           At this point I have the hard drive, floppy drive, both CD
drives and all peripherals pulled except the video card.  Any suggestions,
ideas, random musings (ANYTHING)  will be thankfully received and most welcome.

David
