First of all, I thought my hard drive died. It started flipping on and off repeatedly, and when I rebooted I got a “unmountable boot volume” BSOD. But then I booted into Linux, which mounted the partition fine. Then I ran WD’s diagnostic utility and it didn’t find any errors. Thoroughly confused, I rebooted again into Windows and it worked fine. :X So now I’m thinking it’s my PSU acting crazy. Which sucks because it’s only like 3 months old.
Then, abeit unrelated, the wires on my front case fan must’ve shorted out (when I got the case, it had cut the wires somehow, so I had to solder them together) because shortly after plugging it back in and moving my case back into place, my carpet started smoking. (The side of the case wasn’t on, so it was lying on the carpet.) So I had to put a fan in the window and evacuate my room until the smoke was out. Great fun.
