Thanks. I had an old Radeon sitting in a drawer, so I threw that in. Rebooted, and saw the bios, grub, and the splash screen for picking the kernel. Hit enter just to get on with it, and then the monitor went back to its misbehavior about saying it was not running at an optimum resolution. I then put back the old monitor and went into a 2 hour fight to get the thing to boot properly. Its an oldish machine which has been showing this kind of ill health for years. I'm hesitant to ever reboot it for that reason. Can take 10 tries, with full power off from the back of the box. Its still not recognizing the mouse now... *sigh* Time to drop a bunch of money on a new machine, and pray I can figure a way to save all my files. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
