Cannot get my computer running again...
I've been using a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro-G mobo for the past year with no problems. Last night while burning a DVD, it locked up on me. So naturally, I shut it off, and powered it back on. Once I did that, I noticed nothing was happening. The monitor was blank (in sleep mode). The power LED was on, and the HDD LED was solid. All the fans inside were running, and it seemed like everything inside was fine... but it just wouldn't start. I don't think it is the video card because of the HDD LED... it just stays on and nothing is happening on the Hard Drive. It seems as if something is screwing up within the first second of powerup.
I thought it was maybe the CPU, but I tried it on my other computer and it was fine. It wont even start the post screen. Nothing I do seems to rectify this problem. Can someone help me on this?

1. Pulled the power molex and IDE cable off the back of the DVD drive and tried to bootup?
2. Cleared the motherboard CMOS via shorting the jumper for a few seconds or removing the CMOS battery for 15 minutes? (see motherboard manual for details)
i've heard this sort of thing before. i haven't had any problems with static electricity even now my computer is on carpet. its glad you pointed that out....perhaps if my rig cooks i'll know what not to do
