I was trying to fix my Dad's PS3 (he recently passed away) nothing was working, so I connected the HDD from the PS3 into my PC. Upon plugging in the SATA cable, the entire PC shut off. I unplugged the HDD, but now when I power on the PC, the fans just run at max speed and nothing else happens. I don't know how to troubleshoot this problem.

Meh, it's probably nothing. Upon plugging the SATA power cable or data cable? Try unplugging the power cable from your PC and holding the power button for 10 seconds. Then plug the power cable back and turn on the PC.
