So my PC is dead
mk162:
laptops suck. they just don't have the usable life of a desktop.
Dottonedan:
Don't know what a UPS is, but I do have a good surge protector. Well, I thought I did.
Im-Magic:
Sounds like the Power Supply. There are two different voltages that come from a PC Power Supply. If you take just the square box (The CPU) to any tech they could tell you in seconds.
inkbrigade:
A ups is an acronym for an unintruptable power supply. Usually the power strip ones suck. You want to buy one from trip lite or apc.

Also laptops are great. I do everything on mine and I'm not tied to a desk.

My suggestion is do not EVER listen to another piece of advise from these IT guys, and for the love of all that is good and just in this world, DO NOT TAKE IT TO BEST BUY. They are barely more qualified to fix it than the greasy kid at the local McDonalds. You will end up paying out the ass for a repair or buying a new machine, there is no in-between with them.
Take it to a local PC repair place. An independent shop. Look on Yelp or some such site for reviews of the service.
It sounds like you have a motherboard or power supply issue. Posibly something as simple as the motherboard battery, or who knows. I bet it's a much more simple fix than Best Buy would make it out to be.
