Our PC won't start up. BIOS appears in a jumble of code like this:

My partner is more PC-savvy than I am - but we're basically clueless as to what the problem is.
Does this look like a corrupt BIOS, fried motherboard, some sort of virus, or something else entirely? And do you think that our hard-drives (three separate ones) will be !@#$ed as well?
We're running Windows XP and PC is 5-6 years old. Home brew PC, so I think MB is Gigabyte K8 Triton nForce4SLI Series (GA-K8N-SLI) supporting an AMD Athlon 64 Processor.
Thanks!
