Computers run on smoke. When all of the smoke runs out, they're done.

You’re sitting at your PC. The email is gathering new missives, the music is playing, and several programs are up and running. All of a sudden, snap! BAM!! Smoke fills the room. Gingerly, you push the power button to see if the computer will restart. Nothing.

The PC is deadly quiet.
