Yes, this is similarly odd - the failures have been progressive. From the initial BSOD with a number of different 'Geek Speak' messages (??? ,Equal_to_or_more_than), plus some with a series of eight character codes, the system became more and more reluctant to do anything useful, culminating in four or five blank screens with accompanying three beep outputs from the case speaker and now, NOTHING AT ALL!!!!
I feel the local tip is calling.
