URGENT advice needed!! my PC just failed about 30 minutes ago

ok this is what you have to do

Get some salt, table, kosher, rock, any kind will do.

Use the salt to draw a circle around the PC.

Then get some chalk and draw a star, a crescent moon, and a comet on the PC case, One on the top and each side.

Now chant the following while spinning in circles counter COUNTER clock wise, this is vital.

Just a quick update, I plugged in the power cable and powered it on on again, I made it to the desktop and QUICKLY took some screencaps of HWMonitor and CoreTemp. I was in the desktop for about 7 minutes before the machine suddenly turned off again and then restarted.

This time when it restarted it didn't even make it to the login screen and just started it's little loop of restarting. So I went ahead and unplugged everything again.

As far as any burning smell, I turned it around and put my nose right up to both the back of the PSU and also the bottom PSU air vent - no burn smell.

It should be noted that when the PC boots up it always shows the Windows 8 logo screen and such as the very start, and all my files seem intact, so I do not think it is HDD.

I am guessing one of these three culprits:

- Power supply
- Motherboard
- RAM

I have left it off, but in about an hour I will go back and very quickly try to snap up those screencaps on a USB or something. Once I have the screencaps I will post them here.

Run the PC without the graphics card installed just to eliminate it as a possible source of trouble.

Might want to disconnect the hard drive after that and see if the board can't control itself in BIOS.
