>Turn on PC >Loud click and everything shuts down

Just means that cheap ass chink piece of shit PSU that came with your case just died.

If you're lucky, it didn't take down other parts with it. If you're unlucky, well, you fucking deserve your misery for cheaping out despite everyone telling you not to.

You forgot the part where you get out of jail and then never get a job ever again and then a cop kills you for carrying a bag of skittles.

My ASUS didn't and I'm too cheap to replace it. I'm trying to hold out spending my cash until I hit £1000, so I buy a decent(ish) laptop.

turn the laptop on, hear the chime.

>>57758276
If it hibernated and the recovery data was corrupted it would do that. Restart will delete restoration data and proceed with a regular boot.
