My computer since last night has decided to freeze during start up. It will load for a couple of seconds and then freeze on a line saying "Flash Recovery". I'm guessing the motherboard has died, any idea if I'm right? or any other posibilities.

could you elaborate on this please....
Have you tried resetting your BIOS? How about reseating your RAM?

Sounds like the BIOS may be corrupted? Are you using a Gigabyte Dual-BIOS motherboard?
Alternatively, it may be that the CMOS battery has given up the ghost and needs to be replaced...

How did you get on? 
If its still not working post back here, and post your motherboards name and bios type.
It sounds like you need to reflash the BIOS i.e. get an BIOS update off the manufacturers website, and install it into the BIOS.

Sorry yeah, I have currently got a new cheap mother board and a new Power Supply and that seems to work. I'm still trying to get my old motherboard to work so I don't have to re install everything!!
