    URGENT! Need Help! Won't post!

    My PC stalled tonight and I done a reboot, it halted midway through boot up, just showed Bios and the amount of ram and that was it, I rebooted and the same thing happened, so I turned everything off, pulled out the battery, cleared the RTC and it was ok after that.
