Hello I have a minor news flash. This morning my computer crashed such that it won't start up again. I'm not entirely sure what is wrong with it, but I'm basically on haltus until I can get it working again. I have no clue when this will be, I'm taking it into the nerds tomorrow to see what can be done, if anything. My computer, if anyone is curious, shows me the start up screen with the HP logo and stays there for several minutes. When it finally leaves that screen it beeps at me and continues to stay stuck. The hard disk, for some reason, isn't turning. I did try removing power and cycling it a few times. Same issue.

So I won't even be on IM until I get this working again.

Sounds like something's preventing the "Power On Self-Test" performed by the BIOS at start-up from completing properly. The beep-- the POST code will tell you (or who you have working on it) roughly what's wrong. A good site, once you get everything working again, and if you're curious would be this one: http://www.postcodemaster.com/
