I took a nap and left my pc on. When woke up it was off so i guess one of my brothers turned it off but now it just boots into this screen. Sorry i took the picture on my phone.

Usually there will be a box in the middle of the screen asking for my password.

Might be a defective motherboard, in fact it might have crashed, rebooted and hung up during boot.

My other main guess would be the graphics card but I'd need more info.

1. Run MEMTEST if possible. www.memtest.org
2. Verify the CPU fan and graphics fans are working.

Tell us if:
a) Memtest works, and if so if it PASSES one full pass
b) You can go into the BIOS.

My pc was working perfectly fine. I was just chillen and playing wind waker, then i fell asleep with the pc on and wind waker open on fullscreen. I wake up and my pc was off. So i turned it on and it boots to this http://imgur.com/fapew6z and just stays like that.

1. I don't have another pc compatible with ddr3 memory.
2. The cpu and graphics fans are spinning.

a) Can't use memtest
b) Can't go into BIOS.

Thanks for helping btw. im sorry im a noob with this kinda stuff and this is my first build :D
 


Glad it's working.
I suggest running MEMTEST anyway just to be sure, or at least the Windows Memory Diagnostic (launched from Windows). Run for a full pass (about 30min for 8GB).
