OK so this is how it went down:

Friday afternoon i came home all relaxed because i have a whooole week off. I decided to sit down and just chill on AIM listening to music for a while... and it was going down fine, but all of a sudden the comp crashed and restarted itself. Only problem was that the monitor refused to give me a visual after that. So I thought, shit, its either the monitor or the video card. But nope, i tried the monitor on a different computer and it worked fine.

My reasoning for ruling out the video card possibility is that from time to time the monitor shows a picture, not for long but it does once in a while. I even got to log into windows yesterday, but that didn't last too long... not long enough to finish a virus scan anyways. After that i've been back to where i started. When the monitor DOES show something now it says something about a "checksum rom error" or something like that, and it tells me "drive A detected, please insert system disk and press enter to continue."

I even replaced the motherboard battery and changed cables around...nothing. ATM, my computer is sitting on the floor all taken apart and im looking at it in frustration because nothing i can do seems to be worth a damn. My question to you guys is: Is there anything that can be done? Maybe get a new video card, new motherboard? Or is there anything i can do with what i have?

thanks for your help
