I was working on my homework, and I had my friend over, and he was being really obnoxious. I was listening to music on my computer, and my friend started rapidly hitting the restart button on my case, then the power button as fast as he could. Now whenever i try and boot, the BIOS message says "CMOS check failure" or something along the lines of that. When it boots up all the way, the computer comes up with a blue screen of death.

Wow, some friend... Anyhow, it could be as simple as taking out the cmos battery out (while the pc is unplugged) and hitting the power button (so it discharges any excess power in the machine) to something more severe.
For now try that and see where it gets you. Also if you could grab that BSOD code that would(probably) be helpful. You might need to turn off the auto restart on power failure thing in the bios first though.

ALright so it sort of fixed itself, I just shut it down for a few hours then turned it back on. I'm assuming it was some sort of power problem in the CMOS battery, and hopefully this fixes it. Now hes claiming he was "in the wrong place at the wrong time."
