My desktop has completely died - on startup, it makes noises but I don't even get the BIOS info up, the screen is completely blank.

First of all, am I right to think this is probably down to the failure of something fundamental (BIOS, CPU, memory etc)?

Secondly, what are the chances this might have been caused by a virus? I had problems with a virus a few months ago which reformatted my hard drive (despite the fact I was running Norton!), but is it possible for a virus to cause this severe a problem?

Thirdly, I'm buying a new computer: how can I get at the data on my old hard drive? [I'm assuming that isn't what's failed because I don't even get to that point in the startup]. Is it possible just to take it out and install it into my new machine as a slave? Could that bring any viruses with it? Or am I better spending c.£100 on getting a professional to do it?

All I really want are my photos, e-mails and Excel/Word files since my last backup 3 weeks ago.

Why does it not go faster or slower in that medium? Why that particular speed?

I need to find an online personality quiz that tells you which reality star you resemble the most. Do you know where I can find it? I need this for a college project...

I've been watching music videos from this Turkish band, and I can't find any information on them. They band is called Tugba Ekinci, but I'd like to know more about them. Do you know anything? Even the lead singer's first name is good enough. Anything helps, but don't give false information, PLEASE. I've already tried Wikipedia. Here's a link to Youtube with one of their videos.

These are the the ones which burn little compressed-wood pellets. The advantages are supposed to be that unlike a log fire they are programmable, also you fill a hopper of pellets that keeps the file going for several days. But the fires are very very expensive, so are they worth it?

I took an emergency contraception about two weeks ago, and started birth control pills a day after that recommended by my doctor. Right now I am having a very very light period(almost none except for some chunks of blood), I heard that the birth control pill could give you a lighter period, but also it could be a pregnancy symptom... What could it be???

My bf recently quit his job, it was a sales job and was a scam i would say. It took him a few months to find it after he got laid off from his other job. He made no money at this scam place, and actually spent around $2000 on expenses that arent going to be reinbursed. We were already in the red before then, but now it is rediculous. I am working at a call center full time bringing in about $1000 a month. He is not responsible with money. We have a very limited income now and the house is gone into foreclosure. We have had help financially but it still does not cover expenses. The gas has been shut off for a few weeks now. I have been very thrifty lately and for good reasons! He does not have access to my funds because he has a record of poor spending habit and impulse buys. He is mad because I will gove hima few dollars here and there but I do not give my money to him carefree like he has done to me in the past. I think he is just trying to ignore the fact that we are in dire

i was wondering if i might be pagan, and i know alot about wicca but don't practice it, i don't really believe in spells, charms, writings, color magic and stuff like that, but i do believe in all things natural, i think the earth should be respected, all my beliefs revolve around the earth and doing good things....i wrote a question about what religion might i be becuase i really don't know what catagory i fall into....i just know what i believe, but getting back to the point, what is the difference between paganism and being wiccan?

I going to see them in November. I like their music, but they've always struck me as being primarily about the money. After all, Mick Jaggar has a degree in economics.
