Hi,
Sable wish I could help but I'm computer illiterate 
I know AJ & some of our other Crushers are very good when it comes to this kind of stuff..
I'm sure someone will reply with an answer for you

hey Sable
here is what you can try shut down the computer then when you start it press the F8 key and hold it down it should then take you to a screen where it promt you to either start the compuer is safe mode and from there you can either find the fault or reset the computer like 2 days back and then restart it again hope everything works out for you

well I am not exactly sure what I did but I am now on my computer. I unplugged it and took it apart enough to get to all sections and dusted it. I had already dusted out what I could get to and it hadn't worked but opening it further and dusting stuff inside seems to have worked.
So basically it seemed to need exploritory surgery lmao.
