So I recently built a PC and OC'd it. It was a gentle OC and was running stable, I did lots of LinX tests. Last night my girlfriend turned it off by hitting the switch at the back, and this morning I cant get past the splash screen at BIOS, cant get into BIOS, nothing :( could this have been caused by turning the switch off at the back? What do I do now? I tried taking ram out and reseating. I'm really worried something is fried, I've spent months saving up and buying each component and cant afford new ones, so if I cant fix this I guess my PC building career is over :( too expensive a hobby for me!
 
Solution
shouldnt have fried anything though may have corrupted windows files

take power cord out then press on/off button couple of times then put power cord in and press on button
