My computer just got totally messed up.
I was trying to download a torrent off of piratebay.org using ktorrent on linux and when i went back to check on it later my computer screen was black and wouldnt turn on again. I took off the computer case door to see that the cpu fan was not spinning and nothing working at all. Also, i saw that the video card fan protector was hanging off. This all happened with the power button still on. I turned off the powerstrip and turned it back on, then i tried to restart the computer to no avail. Also the light on the motherboard is on and green, i assume that that means that it is working. When i was examining the GPU fan i found a big dust mite stuck in the fan. do you think that a computer component might be burnt out? Do you know what happened?
PS. I'm not sure if i should put this in hardware or software, it could be either.
