Hi, Harry, First, do you hear the boot bleeps from your pc speaker, and checked the diagnostics from that? That would certainly help.
Then allowing that I have no knowledge/expertise in by-passing the BIOS (I'm not sure it can even be done), but my "First Aid Response) would be to remove the hard drive on which you keep your data, and using another box (which I assume you have access to, as you have emailed the list) copy all the data you need. Again I am assuming that you are not backing up to a seperate drive, so that before playing around wilth the problem you could just remove that. Then replace the drive knowing that whatever you do to try and recover, you still have your data. Do you have another monitor to check that it is not that? Do you another video card to try?
