F9, computer won't boot after updates & hibernation

I have an MSI Hetis 915 with an Intel Pentium 4 3.0Ghz running F9. I don't
reboot it very often; mostly I hibernate. Probably it's been a month or more
since my last full reboot.

Last night I shut it down, for no reason except it felt like it had been
while. This morning it installed a lot of updates--a lot of KDE stuff, etc.;
I wasn't really watching. I locked the screen and left it alone for a while
to complete the updates, and it hibernated after 30 minutes like it's
supposed to do (that's how I have it configured).

Now it won't boot at all. I've shut it down, unplugged it, etc. and although
the power light comes on and the fan starts up, no activity really takes
place. It doesn't even beep to indicate power-on. I've tried booting off a
CD, but it doesn't get to that point. I can't get into the BIOS, even.

Any ideas? Could this even be anything to do with Fedora, or so I just have
some hardware issue all of a sudden?

Thanks,
Matt
