I left the computer on after dinner and when I came back the screen was black, and now it wont boot up. It would go through Bios so i reset the cmos again and loaded defaults and it still wont boot past that. The hard drive light on the front is lit during cmos but after that it goes out and nothing happens.

Bad Hard drive?

it ended up from what i found out a bug with nvidia (not sure if vid card or mobo) but that after it sits a while, the computer goes into power saving mode and tries to turn off the NIC to save power and creates problems. Its back up and running and until i figure itout, im shutting it down everytime i walk away from it lol.
