I'm going to have a look at my friends machine this evening, but am just curious about the best course of action. I'm sure he has an Award BIOS. According to the many websites I've visited, it's a non-fatal error. Any suggestions as to what could cause it to blow a sparky like that?

PS: My neighbours machine refuses to reboot and all he gets is a blank screen, no beeps, nothing. They seem to be related (the problems, not the neighbour and my friend!).

Again, any suggestions?
Try clearing the CMOS. You can usualy do this via a jumper or by removing the cr2032 battery from the board.

Does your m8 have a surge protector ? EEPROMS can be sensitive to spikes and surges !
