What to do if...your computer decides it hates you and won't run?

Ok. I thought it was up and running, but it's now beginning to boot and is remaining on my boot screen (which is customized, but the equivalent of the xp screen.). i checked to make sure everything was secure. It does beep once and is not displaying that underscore anymore, which I suppose is good. And, it's definitely starting to boot, but is stuck. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Too harsh on yourself. Good that is was something simple.

Thanks. It's true-the last thing I have money for is a new motherboard.

If you're looking to save space try getting rid of your Hard Drive and boothing from a USB thumbdrive in your motherboard supports it. Hard drives always fail eventually and are bad in embedded applications like we're doing.
