I was trying to resize a multi-milllion character document in notepad, while saving it in different fonts and formats in other windows, and while I had a web building program open. Naturally, my computer froze up, and showed no signs or reviving, so I hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete so I could force quit some of the stuff I had open. When I did this, the screen went black, and the hard drive became completely inactive according to my hard drive light on the case. The fans kept spinning, and the power light stayed on. Holding down the power button did absolutely nothing, so i was forced to pull the plug. I rebooted, and, stupidly, I went back to doing the exact same thing that I was before the computer froze, and what do you know, it froze again- the screen turned black as I hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and I had to unplug it. But this time, my computer would not restart. Absolutely nothing happens when I push the power button- no lights, no fans, nothing. I opened it up, unplugged everyng, and reconected it all to no avail. I have unplugged and repaced the power cord many times, I have removed everything so I had just 1 HDD, 1 ram stick, the cpu, fan, and onboard video hooked up, wich did nothing. Any ideas? I am completely at a loss.
