Okay, yesterday morning I turned on my old 2001 Dell Dimension. It came to the XP loading screen. Then the streaming loading bar just stopped. It just totally locked up. So after waiting to be sure it wouldn't go, I hit restart. Then nothing would happen. Black screen. Turn the computer off. Turn it back on. Black screen. Absolutely nothing.

I've got a couple things I'm going to try later on, but does anyone know anything about this? I read that sometimes old computers will just die like that, and you just get a blank screen from then on.
