I need some help ASAP.
I run an Athlon 2600+ OC'ed to 2ghz and a Radeon 9800 se softmodded to pro.
I've been running this setup fine for ages, ran half life 2 on high for many hours at a time.
Last night I installed Neverwinter Nights and started playing through on high settings, then I noticed artefacts appearing.
I knew this was a sign of Graphics card overheating, but before I could turn off the pc, it cut out on it's own.
Now it won't turn on when I swich it on.
I don't see why the graphics card overheated so quick, I've played half life 2 flat out for ages and had no problem.
So I replaced the graphics card with my old GeForce FX, and still no response when I switch it on.
I thought the power supply was faulty, but everything that uses USB still gets power. (I have some setting in the Bios enabled that keeps power to usb devices, even when computer is off)
When I switch it on it is dead, no response at all from it (No hum, Bios won't even load, it seems dead).
And basically, on the hard-drive I have some important documents that I need *TODAY*... I tried placing the harddrive as a slave in an old Win98se box, then realized that it won't recognize large hard-drives or NTFS partitions.
Any help would be greatly apprieciated.

When building my comp, it would power down automatically on the highest processer settings (for some reason I dont know why), and it used to take a while for me to turn it back on. Normally resulted in me flicking the switch on the PSU for it to work. Then realised it kept doing it, so had to lower the clock speed.
computer wont turn on...must go on net to ask why....DAMN
Leave it overnight.(just noticed you posted this, this morning, try leaving it for a few hours with the power OFF)
Might be just some sort of heat protection and needs to cool down?
Otherwise, I'd imagine something has happened to the graphics card to short circuit the motherboard.
I dunno, post any updates if you have any.
