Contact your daughter and inquire on what has happened to the computer.

Will the operating system not load? It may simply need to be reinstalled.

Have you got an Operating System CD-ROM?

Does anything appear on the monitor?

Do you hear any beeps?

Try resetting the BIOS if you answer no to both questions

To reset the BIOS, take the following steps:

1. Power down computer
2. Take countermeasures against electro-static discharge
3. Remove computer casing
4. Inspect mainboard for a CMOS jump switch or CMOS battery

In case of CMOS jump switch:

Follow instructions provided with the mainboard manual.

In case of CMOS battery:

I. Remove CMOS battery for approximately 10-15 seconds.
II. After 10-15 seconds, place the CMOS battery back.

5. Power on system.

Do not power on the system when CMOS jumper is set to clear_cmos or when CMOS battery is non-present.

Try reseating the hardware. Something may have gotten loose whilst moving it.
