I recently just tried to upgrade from Heron to Ibex and everything seemed to go smoothly. Once the installation process was done it came time to reboot. I clicked OK, thinking in just a few minutes I'll be salivating over my new Ibex install, and how many chicks I'm gonna get for using it...but I digress.
Anyway, after clicking OK the monitor went blank like a normal shutdown but the PC never booted back up. I waited 20 minutes or so just to be safe, but no boot. There is no GRUB menu, and get this, not even an BOIS menu appears?! I've disconnected all peripheral devices (except the wifi card), and the CD drive.
It seems highly coincidental that something would fail at the exact moment the system was rebooting. Can any experts out there fill in the blanks on why the system isn't booting?

Intel D945GCCR Mobo
