    I don't think Sobig.F is destructive in that way. The long number with
    dashes you described sounds almost like a BIOS version number? If you say it
    showed up during the bootup screen... Above that, was there a place where it
    had tested ram or autodetected any of your IDE devices? Maybe even an energy
    star logo in the upper right?

    Sebby: yes, thats the screen im talking about. "enter DELete to enter
    setup" and all the rest. i came to my computer and that was showing
    up...along with the mysterious hyphenated # at the bottom looking something
    like: 0084-4325-6884-1340-00-234 or something like that.

    When you reboot, do you get spinup from the HDD? Does the floppy light come
    on? You say the fans start up but the monitor doesn't come on... display
    card problems? Do you hear any beeps? If you put a floppy in the drive and
    turn it on, does it try to read the floppy?

    Sebby: well, it seems i can hear the HD spin-up when i turn it on...and it
    does try to read the cd drive....with continued spin(something it is
    supposed to do). the floppy light however does not go on...whether i put a
    disk in it or not. no beeps or sound...which is a bad thing i would assume.
      there is no sign that behind the darkened screen, anything is happening at
    all. i sort of thought i might have accidentally cooked the processor, but
    why would that happen at night? the coolest time of day? and why would i
    have seen that initial setup screen sitting there before i tried to reboot
    it? would something still be visible onscreen of a computer whose
    processor was fried??? thank you very much for your assistance in this dear
    Kalkor.

    Sebastian.
