Sadly, after seeming to install fine, it has failed to boot. :-( It is
exactly the same motherboard as in the one I built for myself a few
months ago. Mine installed straight off without any real problems. I had
to install a temporary network card, but that was no big deal.

This one is being a constant nightmare. It seems to be impossible to
install any Debian. I am at a loss to know what to try next. Other, of
course, than writing a stiff letter to the managing director of teh firm
I bought it from.

It is behaving progressively worse. I think that something must in fact
be damaged. It won't even start booting up now, not even the post screen
or the BIOS options.

:-( And I was so looking forward to having it all set up for when my
husband got home.

Thanks for all the help, guys.

Lisi,

Hmmm, sounds like you have a major problem now - possibly that was coming on before you tried to install Debian, which would explain the problem.

If you don't get the POST screen or BIOS options, you've got hardware problems well beyond anything Debian (or Windoze, for that matter) could cause. Is the system still under warranty?
