Yeah, it died. I had about four random restarts and then on the last one I get something about my motherboard. I insert my CD for it, it goes fine, then nothing. I turn it back on, I get all the LED fans and DVD drive going on, but I get no startup screen, no PST, nothing. The monitor isn't getting any feed from the graphics card, but I'm most likely guessing my motherboard is fried. I'm having a teacher at school look at it for me.

Well that sucks, and yes, I would like some cheese with that whine.

I think it committed suicide from too much MP.net

Could be the memory, if you have more than 1 RAM chip, try removing 1 and then the other.

Could be overheating Wilco, dust that baby with some compressed air.

and wiggle your monitor cable

I'm thinking that was it, but I let it sit for a day and I still got nothing.

BTW your bios could corrupt, I had that when playing with restarting in very bad moment...If you don't have dual bios or simmiliar technology, Download bios image for your main board, take mb and diskiette with image to the local shop dealing with eprom chips, they will take your bios out of mb with special tool, write image from floppy to the chip, place it again and you can check if that helped anything... you can also try to take chip by yourself and don't hang with motherboard but its hard to take it out wothout damaging socket if you have no proper tool....btw in the same shop you probably can buy that tool, its quite universal...

i had something similar and it turned out to be a corrupt BIOS. after one week and some 40 attempts to flash the BIOS i finally fixed it.

But if you let him look at it, he'll see all your ****!
