I got my home computer back. But when I started it up, it went through the POST (beeped once, meaning its ok), but on the startup screen it got stuck at "Main Processor." And after doing some troubleshooting, such as leaving it running for a few minutes in case it was flashing. Then the guy had us bring it back to the shop. And he unplugged all the drives, and reseated the CMOS battery, and popped out a RAM stick. And it was still stuck. The video went out for a few minutes but came back on. He said it was working before it left, and we didn't drop it or anything. He said he's gonna call us back after clearing the CMOS (I told him that if he had to reinstall Windows, to go ahead as I have everything backed up.) So I'm currently using mom's computer as we sent the loaner back, its across town, but they have it on hold for us in case we need it again as they sell quickly.
Could this be a dying mobo?
EDIT: I should also mention that the hard drive wasn't grinding at all, like it always does when powering up.
