Okay guys, I need your computer knowledge to help me figure out why this weird thing that happened to my computer.
Upon turning on my desktop computer, it seemed to load as usual, until the "HP" screen disappeared. It was on for 10 minutes or so, and it was blank. Just a black screen. The screen was on, the computer was still on, and it still wasn't working. I have a theory as to why it might be doing this, and it has to do with our new printer. We recently bought a new Epson Artisan 800 printer, and installed it yesterday. After the printer had been installed for awhile, some error message came on mentioning something about "ArcSoft" and files not being found for it. Then, a few of those boxes later, a window came up that said "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive E:." E: is my DVD ROM drive, and I was not trying to run any programs at the time (I was on Blockland, in fact) and it seems odd to me that my computer would be requiring a disk to be in the DVD ROM drive. We don't usually have a disk in there anyway. I tried clicking every button on the box multiple times, but it was persistent. It didn't go away the entire time I was on the computer. I later turned it off, and turned it back on today, when this happened.
As of right now (Literally, it just started working about 5 seconds before I typed this), the computer is working, but I'd still like to hear anyone's input, just in case it doesn't fix itself next time. Plus, I'm just curious as to what happened. Plus plus, I want to know if it's some sort of virus. D:
