either thats a faulty reading or you have done some serious damage to the PC. 127 is way above spec for any CPU and the motherboard would have been straining, potentially killing everything.

The fact that it got to the point of looking for the OS tells me it was a faulty reading, its happened to me, halfway through a long game of WoW my Cpu decided to hit 85C and the sirens went blaring. A few seconds later it was back to 40C.

The fact that you can still read the errors tells me that the video card is still functional, and the bios is ok. Open up the PC and watch the fans, make sure they all spin. maybe the HDD is lost but hey, that happens to most people eventually. There are lots of HDD recovery techniques out there, google for them. maybe all you need is to pop in the windows cd and use the repair software. Good luck
