Well I really don't know. I have never turned off the computer, so when I wake up and moved the mouse and the state was off to this. I suppose it may be a voltage spike or burn the BIOS or something.
Okay, and that does give us some clue but no it can't burn the BIOS unless you got a full electric chock towards the computer and than also most of the hardware will have burned. But since you leave your computer on at all times, also during night you don't know what happenend and it could just be that the graphics card got too hot and gave up. If that is the case there is nothing that can be done. What I would try is to see if your PowerColor Radeon X1650 graphics card works in another computer? If it doesn't than don't bother as it will just be damaged and nothing will make any change.
And just so you know a standard computer should be restarted regularly and even best turned of when possible. If you are wondering why, well that is because standard computers, including laptops have hardware and especially hard drives that require that operation. If they are left on for months without a reboot or shutdown the hard drive is not used to it and can just stop responding. Only real server hard drives who need to stay up and be always available have special hardware added to prevent this behavior.
