My volvo is sick right now.
It all happened rather suddenly. I noticed the problems right after I started my car after it had been sitting for about 4 days, and i backed up over a pile of snow that scraped along the bottom of my car. I don't know if that caused any of this.
It seems that my power steering suddenly died completely. After driving for 5-6 minutes it gets very hot and the fan stays on after I turn it off. Also many error lights on my dashboard suddenly lite up too. It says the alternator isn't charging the battery, my e-brake is on (it isn't) and a few other abnormal errors that don't seem to be right.
All of those things seem to have started at once. I'm really lost as far as what the cause is, and what the best (cheapest) coarse of action would be. I would appreciate any suggestions!

Sounds like you may have lost the belt. Take a look and see if you are missing any under the hood.
