Frequent TPU posters may recognize me from my many threads I've posted every time my computer breaks (which is absurdly frequently considering how careful I am with everything). One month after fixing the most recent problem, it breaks AGAIN. I'm pretty much on the verge of busting a hole through the useless machine, but first I'd like to see if anyone knows what may be wrong. To add insult to injury, I caught my 6-7th cold of the year yesterday, but that's irrelevant.
I came home from work today to find my computer riddled with 3-5 of the same Flash Player 9 popup errors, seemingly caused by the Internet Explorer processes that I noticed were spawning in my Task Manager (it would stop at around 5-6 processes, and would respawn if I closed one). I thought it would be a good idea to restart my computer, so I did. My computer did the usual startup messages and such, and then just went to a black screen instead of the Windows loading screen. Obviously this pattern continued, or I wouldn't be posting this thread. I CAN load the BIOS menu, but I'm at a loss of what I would be able to do there, since there isn't any indication as to what the problem might be.
Note: I NEVER use Internet Explorer; the only application I have that uses it would be Steam, which was running at the time (but there were no windows open). I also never opened Flash Player outside of a few YouTube videos running in Firefox several hours prior.
Anyone have some insight they might like to share?
Here's my specs if it helps:
Motherboard: ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo
CPU: Intel Q6600 Quad
GPU: EVGA GTS 250 1GB
PSU: Corsair 700W modular
RAM: Corsair DDR2 4GB
