Okay so i turned on the computer this morning and went online as usual. I received a prompt saying I needed to update my Adobe Flash Player to 12 so i hit ok and everything installed and updated without a hitch.
A minute or so later I received a popup from avast saying i had some software that needed critical updates so I clicked it and it showed me the programs that needed attention. The only thing that needed one was the Java runtime environment so I said "meh" and just closed the avast software updater.
Maybe 30 seconds after that my computer BSOD-ed then just went black. Everything happened so fast I wasn't able to take down the stop code. Since then the computer only has power (led's and fans and optical drive tray eject button seem to be working), but i think there's no POST (just a black screen, a yellow led on monitor which indicates no signal, no beeping sound or other sounds for that matter, no lights on keyboard).
How can i proceed to fix my computer via system restore, windows repair, boot to safe mode, etc in this instance? Only things i tried were draining the flea power and checking inside to see if any cables might have come loose. any suggestions? I'm on windows 7 ultimate 32bit.
I wasn't doing anything heavy that time, just browsing, Google and such. i don't think this is a hardware issue since the only thing that changed was that flash player update - no new hardware drivers were installed. and no, there's no lightning storm when it happened.
