Computer just crashed or something... I was playing Dragon Nest, and out of the blue (I was Skyping with a buddy when this happened) my screen went blue, weird noise shot into my ears, and it just... I don't know...

What happened?
What should I do?

Computer probably overheated.

Have you tried turning it on and using it since then?

I've had a couple computers where the power supply went on them.

Are you getting anything when you try to start it up?

sounds like it overheated and bluescreen (shutoff) to stop your cpu from melting. open up computer case and spray a can of air in it clean all that dust out and spin ur fans make sure they spinning easily

It wasn't a heat problem I know that.. I've heard that it may have been a CPU overload or something like that..? Like using too much CPU and it just shuts down to prevent stuff...

CPU's overheat and it shuts down to prevent damage. That can produce a blue screen, like we said.

And you didn't answer any of the questions asked of you. Have you been able to turn the computer on again? If you have, has it blue screened again? If it has, did it run for a few minutes or a few hours? What were you doing the second time it blue screened? Were you playing a game that was graphics intensive? Were you running a lot of programs that were CPU-intensive?

The odds are pretty good that it just overheated.

After it blue screened, I turned it back on (After waiting a minute) and it's been running fine ever since... First time it's actually blue screened on me actually... And the second before it blue screened... I was alt-tabbing out of a game to check up on my FB... :P (The game was fairly graphic intensive, comparable to WoW graphics) Other than that though... I had d2jsp and FB up...

/e OH, and I was Skyping with a friend. (Almost forgot)
