This afternoon, I had left my computer running upstairs while I attended to things downstaris. I went back upstairs to attend to something and heard the familiar "restarting" beep... curious, Iwent to check it out, only to find it running through scan disk... it got to about 15% and autiatically restarted the computer again... it did this 2 or 3 times, and then the screen went black, but the monitor button blinking, like it does when you still have the monitor on after shutting down the computer.
Now I can't get it to respond at all. I press the power button, nothing happens. I press reset, nothing happens. I turned it off by the switch in the back, let it sit for a while, turned it ack on, and pushed the power button... the fan turns on and it SOUNDS as if it's turning on, but still the "monitor is working, check yor computer and cable" message on the screen.... and no change after letting it go for a while. The fan only turns off if I turn off the switch in the back.
Any ideas? I haven't installed any software or even downloaded anything in quite a while... this is an "All of a sudden" thing that I can't seem to solve.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
