   It is with deep sorrow and much lighter
   pockets that I regret to inform you 
   that my dual boot windows/linux PC
   has passed away.

   Whatever was causing Linux to lock up
   has progressed to the point where the
   BIOS won't even run now, no ram check,
   no keyboard beeps, no harddrive chatter,
   nothing.

   It passed quietly in its sleep. It worked
   one day, and then a couple days later,
   it simply wouldn't turn on . . .

You know, this sounds kinda like a power supply problem.  Last summer, I
had what I thought was a flaky hard drive, until it failed hard enough
that I had to add another disk in order to have something to boot from
so I could repair the root partition, and then it would not even power
up (gory details at http://rgrjr.dyndns.org/linux/disk-upgrade.html#ps).
The system has worked without a hitch since replacing the PS.

   If that's not it, then rest assured that you have my deepest sympathy
in your time of loss.
