I had a strange thing happen to the old rig. It booted normally and entered desktop, the AVG refreshed itself automatically, but then i tried to enter internet explorer and nothing happened. I waited a minute or so (sometimes it's sleepy in the morning) and clicked it again but still nothing. I checked the system moniter and it showed 1% of CPU usage. I tried to use the start menu to restart but it wouldn't open, so i used the reset button. When it tried to boot again, it had a message saying "copying BIOS image (or shadow, i dunno) from hard drive" and refreshed the screen with endless lines of dots. I waited about 15 minutes before i got impatient and, stupidly, pressed reset again. And now it's buggered! The moniter is recieving nothing from the computer.

What have i done?! And, more importantly, how can i fix it? The computer in question is my only steady access to the internet. I'd like to think i can live without it, but denial and fevered rantings are some of my withdrawal symptoms. Any help or advice is very muchly appreciated.
