One of the guys I know who I think I mentioned here as having a virus farm and not caring, his PC ate it. Last week I think. The thing is gone. No need to mention anything, it's been tried. He said he was just playing world of nerdcraft and it just went blank and stayed that way no matter what. Like I said, this is a PC that is just left to rot with infections and no kind of anti-virus for as long as it still kept running, other than using Enditall at login to kill stuff which caused it to lock up later. But it's time seems to have run out. The fans run but there is no screen error of any kind displayed, and the hard disks don't respond unless the IDE cables are disconnected. I've never seen it myself but what exactly happens when a BIOS is incorrectly or maliciously flashed? Something like this, right? Or do motherboards suddenly bite the dust?
edit: oops, this should have been in the other forum. move please if you like.
x 2, I should have said the general forum or some. this isn't technical support query, more of a general topic of opinion. there's no way for someone to tell me with certainty what the cause of this is. but whatever, the same thing can be said for a lot of stuff I've posted here.
