Ahh, I love the smell of updates in the morning. Wait, tic tic tic? I bet it's nothing. (Sees countdown to completion of update) Ah, very soon it will be finished! 5...4...3...2............. IT'S A B-

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that its time for a new video card.
This sounds extremely similar to what happened to my computer in mid-December. I had 2 video cards (for SLI) and one died and was preventing the computer from even booting up. I did not know that was the problem and and thought my hard drive was corrupted or infected (it wasn't but I re-formatted just to be safe).
I removed both video cards and then put them back one at a time and booted up. The first one emitted a sound like a smoke alarm (long, shrill high-pitched noise) and would not boot up. Took that one out. Put the other one in and the computer would boot up. Most of my data was still on an external backup drive (which I had just bought a few months before, thank jeebus).

Seriously dude, word for word the exact same thing happened to me. Computer still remains wonky and now I'm relegated to my laptop unless I want to deal with the thing's morbid and terminal idiocy.
My ship is undergoing diagnostics. The computer failed after we attempted to tweak the resolution on the main viewing screen. The chief engineer told me it might be a few days before I hear anything back.
Also I keep having this strange dream that I'm not a starship captain, but rather some douche in 21st century Canada whining about his computer that broke down and using delusional fantasies to ease the pain. I'm glad it was only a dream.

Blame Hoplite. That evil AI tried to kill you now it is erasing it's tracks.
CAPPY!!!!
*runs in with gas mask and oxygen tank*
Take my air!
*takes deep breadth and puts the mask on Cappy, and then attempts to pick up Cappy, then runs out of air...*

Corban stands a few feet away in his spacesuit playing a game on his cell phone. He see's Dawson and Cappy in trouble. He looks at his record high Tetris score, then at his friends. Finally he walks over a foot or two and hits the airlock controls. Air quickly fills up this section of whatever ship we're on. When he looks back to his game he see's the screen fill with blocks.
"You two made me lose my game!!"
Hits the airlock controls again venting all the air out. Then he starts up a new game.
<enters airlock in a cape made out of curtains and wearing underwear on the outside of my pants and a ladies nite time beauty mask around the eyes for added wrinkle protection..>
<lifts handle to airlock, notices people gasping for air.....throws whippets balloons and breakers at them, flushes the Captains commode, and leaves as mysteriously as he arrived>

Okay, not exactly a bomb, but same shock factor.
My computer crashed.
Computer gods are reaaaally ****ed at me. (Lamest excuse ever)
I'm in safe mode, and my screen is covered in small lines that flicker in color and number. JOY!!! :mad:

It doesn't use an electrical battery. It uses slave labor. Or hort. Whichever's available...:p
*picks up hort and plonks him on a hampster-wheel type device*
