Thank Mauro, I rebooted again and I can get to the bios/grub display just fine now.

NUT shuts the box down when the UPS hits 15% remaining (CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD ... I really like these UPS's). The box shut down just fine, I think the boot limit was reached which caused fsck to run. I have no explanation for the missing 8800gt after the power outage. I guess there was some stray voltage that went somewhere when it happened. Looks like it is all back to normal now. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
