/rolleyes.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':rolleyes:\' /> I'm glad to have found a forum. I hope someone can help me - I'm failrly computer illerate when it comes to hardware, programming and the like. I was typing on a message board earlier when sudden the screen just went black and the computer turned itself off. It was kind of strange and mildly shocking even. When I turned the computer back on there was a bright grey screen first and then it disappeared and was followed by a red one, then a green screen and then back to the gray one. This is all that happens - a slide show of four alternating colored screens. Completely weird.
Did I get some kind of cyber virus blast? Or did something fry? Help is appreciated. It's a Dell XPS, not the latest version and it was pin-modded always a little on the hot side. No money to fix since it is no longer under warranty (due to pin-modding). I don't know anything about pin-modding, it was like that when I got it.
Thanks!
