I apologize if this is in the wrong section, as I am not sure if this is the actual culprit or not.
Following some Windows updates last night, my desktop PC ran in to some strange problems. The first was that my time/clock was wrong, and it kept changing itself every hour or so. It would be off by either an entire hour, or 10-20 minutes. Telling it to re-sync worked for a while, but it would do it again.
In an attempt to troubleshoot it, I tried restarting my PC with the automatic synchronization for date and time un-checked. The restart took about 10-20 seconds longer than normal, and then the screen went black, and I heard a continuous clicking sound in my headphones. It was in time with the flashing light on my monitor (the light indicates that the monitor is powered on but is not receiving from the PC but I have never heard the sound before, and don't know what it means if anything)
Since it was hanging I turned it off using the switch in the back, and after a few seconds I flipped it back on. The mobo light turned/turns green, but the PC itself will not power on or turn on.
I'm not sure what to do from here. Is this a problem that can be caused by Windows updates, or should I ask this question/move this question elsewhere?
