Thanx for the advice both of u 
Here's what I ended up doing and saved me a few thousand Rand.
BIOS had been attacked by a virus I think. When I rebooted it didnt even have the BIOS setup available. The computer just made a sad low pitched sound and did nothing.
So I decided to Flash the BIOS (Not with my body)
Went to http://www.via.com.tw and downloaded the .bin file and a .exe programme.
Then went to http://www.bootdisks.com and downloaded a DOS 3 bootdisk.
Stuff it in A: ran the .exe programme and told it to load the .bin file.
After a minute it rebooted, asked me to go in to Bios setup, pressed F10 and now my PC is working like a dream
