in this room were im sitting, i call the computer room because i have two p.c 's running and earlier today i was playing my football manager game when suddenly  the computer switched itself off and now will-not switch back on, all i get on the monitor is a flashing white bar, my other p.c is obviously working because i can send this message.... could it be that my motherboard has gone...............someone tell me what the hell is going on because i've tried everything!!

Could be all sorts of things.

If the whole thing is dead it could be the power supply, or the fuse in the plug or the power supply or, as you say, the motherboard. If the PC is showing any signs of life it could be the monitor or the graphics card, or just the monitor plug not properly in the socket on the PC. Try swapping the monitors round on your PCs.

You need to get it looked at.

My advice to you is begin drinking, heavily....

It might just be the processor overheating. You say you were playing a game? Is it graphics intensive? It's just that my laptop shut down when I was playing Tiger Woods Golf. An hour or so later when it cooled down it switched back on ok!
