That was my guess too.  If I install X11R7 is it reversible?  It seems 
much different from X11R6.  I might copy over BL2 some place to 
experiment.

We just took apart a 2008 HP Slimline with DDR2 memory, SATA DVD-RW, 
15-in-1 card reader, 500GB SATA drive....  From a dumpster.  Onboard 
Nvidia video went bad, and according to forums it takes 1-2 months after 
the 1 year warranty, so they extended the warranty one year or Dec 31 2009 
whichever comes first, meaning if it goes bad after they you are out of 
luck, or if they replace it before that it will fail again.

Jim is cleaning goop off the north or south bridge to see if it matters.
Symptom is no video, no beeps, but power light and cpu fan spins.  Nice 
quiet fan and a 2.5GHz 32-bit dual core CPU (Intel of course).  We can use 
all the parts to test other people's broken computers.
