I just was on my other computer and it is NOT connected to the internet and I was busy with music mixing on that. The processor got overloaded and I had to force a reboot, but there's no re-boot button, so I just pulled the plug and then after about 30 seconds put it back in. And now it refuses to start.

Does ANYBODY have any idea what to do? I'm fucking stressed out and about to flip..

Check the power supply.  Check how hot the computer itself is, especially the hard drives.  If it's hot, let it cool down.  That's all you can really do.

How long would it need to cool down? Are we talking minutes, hours, days, weeks?

EDIT: It is pretty hot, yeah

Theres nothing you can do. Unless it has over heated and needs time to cool down Only thing you can do is check the connections, and if those aint the problems, then you'll have to take it to a repair shop

Maybe you burned out the power supply.  That sucks.

How is that possible? It's a pretty new computer, so I didn't think that is likely. Is it?
