I hear sparking. In fact, the problem has worsened. Now the motherboard is damaged and the computer shuts down randomly. I think the BIOS chips are damaged. Yesterday, it sparked, the computer rebooted, and got a CMOS checksum error message. Selected Last Known Good, restarted fine, booted Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, now the farthest the computer has ever gotten is to start booting Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I will need a new Gigabyte G41MT-S2PT motherboard to swap in and once that is done, I do not expect this to happen again. The computer was put together at Laptops for Less (never going there again). They must have put in a 2-4 year old motherboard that they knew that was going to go out soon. It appears that today was the day that the motherboard decided to go out. Hopefully, this does not happen again.
