Can anyone tell me what the hell just happened?

ok so i was unzipping the sony e3 conference and surfing MR when my comp started to beachball, it did this for about i would say 15 minutes.

then all of a sudden my screen went almost completely black

i could BARELY see it at all when i looked real hard, then i hit the brightness key and it went completely black, the HD clicked and then a light blue screen came up and the cursor was frozen

i then held down the power button and restarted, could this have been a kernal panic or what the hell was it, i was so scared i thought my HD was about to fry.

thanks everyone

Wow. The only time I've seen that happen is on my sister's cell phone and a PC. Just try to reboot it. It most likely just had a small error.

sounds like a network error while connected to "The Whopper "
