the Dreaded Black Screen



Last night my computerscreen went all funny with black and white diagonal lines. I restarted it and got the same thing so I figured I'd shut it off and then it would be magically better in the morning. Nope. Now the screen is black and the tower was making a whirring sound like a revving engine. Not good. 

Fastforward to a panicked call to my computer nerd savvy dad who told me to clean out the fan etc. Still a black screen. God help me.

I have my laptop but my PC had all of my iTunes on it, which, of course, I have never backed up.

Initiating freak out sequence in 3...2...1...
