I already cleared out the fan and re-applied thermal paste. It was no help.
Some background info:
Last night I was creating a bootable DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke) using UNetbootin. However, when I got to the boot screen (see attached image) there was a timer that counted down from 10. Once the timer reached zero it would simply just start again and keep looping. If i pressed the tab key I would get a message like so:
> /ubnkern initrd=/ubninit
If I press ESC I get this for a few second, and then it goes back to the timer:
boot:
I am attributing this problem to something in the system because, 10 min before I did this I had no problem what-so-ever with my system.
Any other suggestions?
