Looks like the storm is finally here...first thunder, now hail.
So I ran out to Fry's a little while ago and met up with my dad there on his lunch hour. I got an external hard drive to back up all my stuff on (which I hope I'll be able to get to!), and a new power supply dad'll install when he gets home from work. I really hope it's just the power supply; I've burned out at least two or three of them before because I pretty much have my computer on all the time, and this seems like the same thing. My computer just turned itself off and I smelled something weird, that's usually the power supply burning out. I did try restarting twice, and at least one of the times the computer began to boot up normally before turning off again, so I think the hard drives are probably okay. If they're not I have a TON of redownloading to do :(
