The short version: PC starts in power saving mode and won't show bios or run windows. The longer version: I tried to run a game downloaded from steam (just cause 2), the game started and ran very easily, until it froze in a cut scene. No matter what buttons I pressed the pc wouldn't respond so I did a hard reset, and now the computer boots straight into power saving mode and won't turn on. I've done some research and the general impression I get is that there's probably something wrong with the hardware. I inherited this pc and it is a rather nice gaming pc built by a serious gaming friend of mine. However, I'm still somewhat of a noob and I was wondering where I should start when trying to fix it. Any and all suggestions help
