Last night I was playing a game when the computer suddenly shut down. It wouldn't start again but when I unplugged the power cable and plugged it back in, the fans would start turning and the light on the power button turned on. This would last for about a 1/4 of a second and then it would turn off again.
I thought maybe the computer had overheated (they CAN do that right??) so I left it for 15 minutes and tried again with the same results. This morning (about 8 hours later), my parents tried hitting the power button and nothing happened. About 4 hours after that hitting the power button several times got it to start. There's no way it could take it 12 hours to cool down so does anyone have any ideas what might have caused this??
Any help would be appreciated.
