Yeah, find out the cause first. If you PC is so touchy cannot
stand letting a kid touch, then actually should just buy new PC.

Try to boot from bootable CD, windows or linux, when you encounter
this problem and see if you hit the same problems. This will help
you determine if your windows got problem. But not likely since you
can't even see the POST screen.
Other than checking the cards are seated correctly, maybe also
change different power or vga cables (if you have), could be cable
rosak.
