Hi all. The other day on my main pc when I clicked on a video, all went black and it restarted. I got the message "system has recovered from a serious error" etc and everything was fine for a few hours till I clicked on a youtube video and the same happened again.
I tried some fixes from the net but the same happened a third time but after that it wouldn't do anything.
I mean it's dead and it's not the power, so I'm assuming it is the motherboard that has given up the ghost?
Or any other ideas on it?
If it is the problem is it difficult to fit a new one?
And also if it is the MB I also assume that the HDD would be ok?
Thanks a lot for any feedback! :)

Does nothing at all happen when you press the power button?
