Computer Problem
Didn't know where to put this if anyone can help at all.
My wife was on the computer this morning and the the picture got all twisted and the computer seemed to freeze. I was like uhhh turn the computer off and turn it back on (thats what the IT guys tell me to do when something screwy goes on with my PC at work).
Now the computer doesn't boot up. The fan turns on cause I can hear it running but the computer does not boot up.
I am expecting that this means something very bad, but what is it.
My computer is a E-machines T6420 specs are something like

The store said your warranty is up nothing we can do. The computer manufacturer says the same exact thing. So I know that this is a relatively very cheap computer but was wondering if anyone had ideas as to what would cause this problem, if it could be fixed, how much it would cost, and any other advice would be great.
ohh well thanks for your time and effort.
