Help, please!! when I restarted my partner's PC this morning, it sounds like it's trying to start up, and after a few very loud "whirrs", an error message comes up with something about "overclocked" and hit "delete" ... but nothing happens ... it just keeps "whirring" ... please advise ... should I turn it on and let it do its thing, or leave it off and give him the bad news when he gets home?? Thanks ... hope your day goes better than mine has started!!

Hey, well have you done any over clocking on your pc? Have you fiddled with any bios settings recently? How old is your pc? Your OS?

Thanks, but it isn't my PC ... I turned it off and left it off because I was concerned about the noise it was making ... my partner got it restarted last night, and doesn't understand why it happened either ... thanks for your reply ... take care ... have a great weekend!! GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!
