I don't have one around yet, I'll try to see if I can bum one off of someone.

The monitor works, but it's the PC that's...sort of dead. There's all sorts of whirring an humming that happens when it comes on, but its just dead silent now.

Really?

I'll look into it, but I guess that I'm a bit surprised at how a PSU could die overnight.

Did your RAM get loose? That used to happen on my old computer all the time. If it's not in there just right it just won't start.

I took all my ram wafers out and put them back in firmly. Nothing worked. D:

Clearly it has been turned on one too many times with pornographic material. Hehe, just kidding. The best I can offer is an overheard joke like that.

There is no such thing as too much pornographic material. Also, I saw you very randomly waiting at a bus stop on saturday night. You looked very tired.

So when you say 'nothing happens with the PC itself', do you mean the red CPU progress light doesn't blink or come on at all? If so, my bet is either like bayman mentioned, that your ram has shaken loose or died, or the motherboard bit the dust.

If the CPU light blinks/comes on, maybe it's just your video card? Could be the onboard video died, that's often easily rectified with a PCI video card, and old ones of those (128MB and earlier) are dirt cheap on eBay(or I may have one somewhere, I have assloads of old PC parts in boxes). If you weren't lame and flying out of Cincy, you could bring it to Jonette's and I could have a look at it for you, I do build systems. :) Or, if it's still defunct after D*C, I could always come over to your place and look at it, I'm like 10 minutes from you now by Mariemont.

That happened to me earlier this year. I thought I had to replace my HD or something; turned out my RAM chip(s) shook loose.

Well, like I said earlier, here's all sorts of whirring an humming that happens when the PC typically turns along, along with a bunch of green LED's here and there, but there's no activity of the sort now. As for the ram, I re-seated all my ram wafers into their ports, but I'm still left out of luck

If you wanna come by some time to help me out, that would work out marvelously.

I'm getting in around three or four PM. My pc's on the fritz, so I'll give you the exact details tomorrow.
