Fuck gentoo, fuck linux, fuck/g/, and fuck computers. No amount tech literacy can ruin generations of awful programming, nothing will ever just work anymore.
Oh

Could be the new delete system32

but it's not.
I remove my linux SSD and my PC boots just fine.
>>53532203
probably just overheated
>>53532218
usually BIOS gives me a "thermal failure" error for that, though

And you're surprised your hardware might have shit the bed?!
>>53532045
fucking...
Switch off at the wall and jam the power button in a few times for 30 seconds to discharge any of the capacitors, then switch it back on.

Another victim of the Linux meme, please /g/ stop

What the hell is clang?
>>53533832
nvm just googled it.
>>53532045
LOL actually using gentoo instead of ubuntu
>>53532045
You have this issue on every OS, something will inevitably fuck you up, I once plugged a printer into a MacBook and the driver fucked up and constantly used 100% of all cores and I had to reinstall osx.
Just man up and try again, you're only a failure if you give up
>>53532218
actually, you were right, I just let it sit for a while and opened my windows ( the kind on your wall )
pulseaudio, firefox, and youtube all work just fine
thanks anon

Even my laptop doesn't fuck up when having 84°C for 3 hours straight.
You built a shit pc and it belongs in le garbage.
>>53534510
I have a feeling it could also have been the cache or something
My cpu has never been subjected to 100% on all 4 cores, and it's a xeon E3 1220-2
