About 6:30 last night turned my computer everything was normal did what I had to do and then shut it down. 8:00 I remembered I had something else to do, turn it on this is the only thing that happened.
It did the memory test of my RAM and then the screen went to black and nothing else happened after that. I shut it down and tried to get into the CMOS and it went to black again. Checked all connections but repeated attempts produced the same result.
It's been awhile since I've done any serious hardware troubleshooting but does this sounds like my motherboard kicked the bucket?
It's a old Cyrix 166+ system so it's not a tragedy by any means. Just wish I could get my stuff off the hard drives. Looks like Christmas might come a little early.
Thanks for your help,
Mike
