Hi, I've been having problems in both Debian and Windows, so I'm not sure which one could be causing this (probably Windows?), but when I turn on my computer right now, it doesn't start. I get absolutely nothing on my screen except the default thing that shows up on the monitor if the computer is turned off and on the older monitor I tried it with it's just a blank blank space. I hear a little ticking like it's doing something, but that doesn't last long because when I put a boot disk in it doesn't go far enough to be trying to boot of the harddrive/floppy/cdrom. I've tried replacing the graphics card with a different one so it doesn't look like that's the problem. My guess is that this is a BIOS problem. Any ideas? Could a (Windows?) virus have caused this? Is the bios (I have an AMIBIOS in that computer) replacable? Easily? Inexpenssively? I'd appreciate some help with this. I'm using a very old computer right now with a 486 that can barely handle this telnet prompt in Win95 (I install Debian off the harddrive and don't have anything downloaded for it in this computer for me to be able to set it up easily), BTW. I'd appreciate some advice (in private since this might not be specific to Debian?).
