On wife PC I swaped out her old PCchips MB with my old Asus , but I got in a hurry and didn't notice one mounting (lug or whatever its called that goes between MB and case) needed to be moved (it was near the back-bottom , near the BIOS) and touched or was touching .

Before I knew this tho I had started PC and it got to winXP and stopped (knew it would , big hardware change) , rebooted so could check and change anything needed in BIOS , in the middle of making changes , PC shut-off .
Looked around at it for a minute , don't see anything wrong , flip switch in back to Off then On and hit button , everything seems to start (fans , HDD's, DVD,lights) but no Video or beeps .

Pulled MB part way out saw lug in wrong place , moved it , screwed it down ,checked everything , tried boot again , same , no Vid. or beeps , pulled V.card out of mine , put in Asus , same again , moved memory around ,removed it , no change .

So did I fry MB ? or just BIOS .

p.s. FloppyDrive won't try to read or spin with a floppy in and do a reboot (was gonna try reFlash BIOS in case it some how got erased ) .
