I have no idea wtf just happened or why so I'll start from the beginning.
A couple days ago when I restarted it said I could not boot from the cd... I figured... that's weird... since when would it try booting from the cd drive. I took the cd out and tried it and sure enough it booted up. I changed the boot seq. even though it was never messed with.
The computer was running fine until I just restarted again (once a week or so) and it said there was an error on my boot record. WTF? hit any key to continue... I did and it sent me to my desktop.
I restarted the computer and set my bios to default because I was worried it had something to do with the memory settings since it was kinda hanging at the "windows is now shutting down" screen.
After I set them to default, I restarted and got a few long beeps and a black screen... WTF?!
Now when I try to start up the computer, the fans are maxed out (instead of just that initial boost, then settle down like normal) and sits at a black screen.
My allergies are getting to me so I can't smell very well but I think I smelled some electrical but it may be in my head or just the normal smell of new electrical components being blown out from the fans being maxed and no side cover. I'm not sure but wtf is going on?
Did my hdd fail? Why would the fans be maxed out? and why wouldn't the bios at least come up? I'm getting no video at all.
