Ok, I have no idea what happened. I watched a movie last night no problems. The pc did not suspend correctly so I held the power button down on the pc until it shut off as I could not get to a terminal to kill xbmc.
Today i just tried powering on my computer and I am not getting any picture to my TV (HDMI) or i tried connecting the computer directly up to a vga monitor. No bios loading screen nothing? Does this mean my board is dead? It used to run at around 50 C. and i wasnt sure if that was hot or not?
EDIT: NEVERMIND, I got things working. scared me for a bit. I don't know much of what happened, but i ended up pulling the plug on the back of the machine, then holding the power button down for a few seconds. I can only guess it had something to do with the suspend mode in Linux - im not to familiar with it.
