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.

Hold up... You plugged something in while the PC was already running? Yeah, uh... You shouldn't do that.
