I am so fucking angry right now!!!!

so angry i could punch a sleeping baby!! 
i go out to the kitchen to do some dishes, gone maybe 20 mins, come back and my computer is off. i push the power button. nothing. push and hold. nothing. i push it again. it turns on, and all i can see is small stripes up and down, changing direction and color. i thought i was tripping at first..... it does his for about 40-60 seconds and then shuts off again, only this time there was a small "pop" and i smelled burning electronics........ so i opened it up, and a little smoke comes out. now it wont turn on at all. i see no damage inside. no burn marks, no blown capacitors. i see nothing wrong.
i am so pissed. i really dont have the money for another computer. i hope its something that can be fixed for cheap. the damn computer is only like 3 years old. i take care of it well. i cant imagine why this happened. luckily my woman has a laptop. i dont like it. but it gets me online.
anyone have any idea what this could be? i know its probably hard to diagnose without seeing it.

i dont know but my computer keeps on beeping when i load any kind of graphic. it even beeps for animated gif files. the beeping is from the computer though and not the speakers. i know it's some kind of error message but i've just been listening to music when using it...

I had the exact same thing happen to my Alienware 5 days after the warranty expired. 5 days. They wouldn't even talk to me on the phone without paying a $40 fee. And then told me I would have to ship them my computer, pay for the part, pay for them to install it, and pay for shipping back. They refused to send me the part to do it myself. Assholes...
So I took it to a shop and got everything fixed for $90.

I would bet it's the power supply. Go pick up a new one or check newegg.com and find one that has good reviews and check your local electronics store.
If you replace it and it still won't boot, then it's probably the motherboard. You might be able to return the PSU but they're good things to have around as extras anyway for things like this.

I would bet its the psu as well. Pretty cheap and easy to replace. Assuming it didn't kill any other components. Maybe see if someone you know has a spare one you can try. Do NOT take it to repair shop unless you want to get $ raped.
Good luck man.
