As my expression being in all-caps may tell you, I'm in serious trouble here with my computer. I have a Dell Dimension 8400 (or something similar I guess) which is only about a year old (I got it in Jan. 2004)

Anyway, I got a really weird error message early this morning (2:30 AM) before I went to sleep. It was like nothing I had ever seen before, and I wish I could be more descriptive about it, but I was so tired that I just kind of ignored it and I shut down my computer.

So I go to turn on my computer this morning and it DOESN'T TURN ON. All the proper power connections are there, and other things plugged into the same surge protector work, but not my computer.

The main problem here is that I have TWO MID-TERM PAPERS either done or partially completed on that computer and these papers are due Monday and Tuesday respectively. If I cannot get this problem fixed before then I am SCREWED. If anyone has any clue about what the hell I can do, do tell.

Major doubloon and rep awards awaiting of course....

I guess I'll call Dell too, but I know you guys have good experience in this too...
