so was playing quake live and it was almost like the power surged and the computer went out(but there was none, only the computer went out). went to go boot it back up but it just stayed blank, with the fans blowing at full blast. could not turn it off by holding down the power for 3+seconds, which i usually can so had to turn off it by switching the psu

did the cmos flush thing by removing the pins, placing it on the other ones and then moving it back.

no beeps of any kind.

videocard's light in on and the fan is running....

tried running with just 1 ram stick instead of 2

any ideas? perhaps i need to replace the cmos battery?
