Shame on you two! How's anyone supposed to learn how to fix their own stuff and get out from extortionate and frequently incompetent repair shops if they sit there all scared of breaking something? What's next, buying a sweet gaming machine from HP with a 2 year old video card and 2gb of ram?
Vitek mate, don't listen to them, pull bits apart and look for the problem (I'd also tend to blame the PSU, I thought the CPU might have been the problem until you described the fans trying to spin). Downloading the motherboard manual would be a good move (especially with the cables you yanked out), the motherboard usually has the manufacturer and model number printed somewhere on the board in reasonably large letters
