EDIT: It appears that it sorted itself out after an hour with the power reconnected. Which is odd, but I'm not complaining. Also, the automatic rock is bricked, which is to say the washing machine is broken. The automatic shutoff for the water didn't go, and the basement floor, once again, started to flood.

Original Post:

So, my PC is broken, I have to ration bandwidth on the family computer, and as usual, there's nothing on TV. Guess I'll be spending more time reading The Dragon Reborn today than I anticipated.

Also, before anyone has to ask, as soon as the computer is turned on, the fan goes full blast and there's no output from the monitor. And yes, I tried removing, cleaning, and reinstalling the GPU. For some reason, it didn't work this time.

Sounds like you need a new GPU.

Any beeps on booting?

Anyone noticed that lately the rate of failing PCs from TWHL members has been increasing?

Your mother board might be fried, and/or CPU.

TWHL-ers need to practice the art of PC cleaning and maintenance more often.

I need to clean out my laptop. It's not as if I could end up voiding the warranty by opening it up, that's long gone.
I also need to clean it in terms of software. :

Yeah, I should get a new GPU, one that puts out less heat. I will. Eventually.
