I had been working on a tune, and I had to leave for a few hours, so I closed everything and just let the computer sit. I don't run a screen saver, so not much was going on in the background while I was gone. When I got back, there was a blue screen error that said "Unable to write to disk in drive C. Data may be lost" or something similar. I had to manually shut the computer down (by holding in the power button), and when I tried to start it up again, it wouldn't go past the 'IBM Aptiva' screen it shows before it does all the bootup stuff. It won't load from a boot disk or CD, and I can't get into safe mode, or even the BIOS. What in the name of holy hell is going on?

Also, I've been running with the case cover off for a while. Don't know if that would make a difference.
