Corrupted File Ended My Computer's Life.  

yes there are too many corrupted files flying here....I also got my computer crash from this thing...but after formating it is working fine now.....its nice that it is in warranty period...hope it will be alright soon......

Cheer up my dear you're not alone. I experienced the same thing... all my files were corrupted both pc and in my usb. I felt so bad, i was not able to retrieve it. Our IT department told me in order to retrieve the file we need to purchase a software but it's very expensive.

Did you check the cable or replaced it with another one?or maybe just try other slots? because you said you used a different harddisk and you had the same problem, I have cases where replacing the cable, ide or sata cable, fix the issue of harddisk related errors so you might want giving it a try.

Try F8 before sys start, then select Last Known Good Configuration

Maybe your brother broke it from inside,who knows he must have done with windows file like deleting some windows important files by mistake, i think you should try again with a windows working version, i never dealt with this kind of error in my life, so far i have seen retry windows not properly installed,not corrupted,maybe hard disk failure error.its best that you go see a proper pc mechanic.

F8 wont work pala, you formatted tour Hd already, Just a tip, when you go to the pc shop for repair,ASK them to install Faronics Deep Freeze. It may be hard for you to understand at first but i guarantee you 100% safe Browsing, downloads, no virus, no corruption, hack proof and more stuffs.

I hate it when this happens to my computer, and the thing that caused it was having no antivirus. I was just surfing the web and then i got a message at the bottom of my computer saying corrupt file. So then i got an antivirus and it said that it was spyware was getting into my PC. the only way to fix it was by restoring the PC right back to the beginning :(

I lost all of my files and it was really sad seeing all my ripped music was going to be deleted. But i have now got all that music back onto my computer because using media player i just ripped the cd and put all the songs back onto my computer!!

Simple!!

But after that, i thought why don't i try and make some money online. and that is how i have joined this website!!

Thanks for reading and happy mylotting!!

Have a great day!

Just curious, what are you using right now if your computer crashed? Are you in a computer shop or something? hehehe

I think I can help you with your problem. the "missing or corruptedhll.dll" doesn't necessarily affect the computer hardware. The main victim would be your operating system which is Windows Xp or Vista if your on Vista. Maybe it caused the OS's video adapter compatibility to malfunction due to the missing file, which could be erased because of a virus or a trojanware downloaded unknowingly by the last user of the PC. In case you have borrowed another hard disk, make sure that if its SATA or IDE and properly align it to right sockets in the motherboard. And make a format of it too, to suit your make of PC. Directly connecting the hard drive from another computer to your computer without formatting it first will make it unrecognizable as drivers and OS of the original computer is loaded and not your PC. If your PC is still months old or new, there's really a big chance your motherboard is not the culprit. I have a near similar problem just like yours and i bought a second motherboard only to know that my original motherboard is not damaged, and only a week old when i suspect it is the culprit. It all just comes to the hardware connections, or software adjustments.

I don't know if this will help you because I think it's probably one of those weird things that happens infrequently, but I know someone who had exactly the same issues, except I don't remember if there was a corrupt or missing file. I don't know what kind of computer he had other than it was a notebook. But here is what happened to him:

When he closed the notebook, a flip pin that goes down into the case got caught at the back where hinges are. I don't remember if it was wedged or broken or what, but it just wiped out the functioning of the computer. He took it to the shop and it took them all day to figure out what happened. When they fixed it, his computer was back functioning again like nothing happened. You can always check and see if yours has such a thing.
