i have learned to save all my files on an external Hard drive just in case something like this happened to me because it already happened to me! and i lost all my precious and memorable pictures and all my music collection when my PC crashed.

What a shame. Surely you can get your pictures back from where you stored them?

I thought you had them on your computer before it froze? I had this happen but the were still retrievable. If you just knew what program/software you used to transfer them from your camera to the computer plus I burned them onto CDs.

Oh, been there...done that!
With our old computer desktop that is. I think that computer was a lot older than our son.
That computer also did a lot of rebooting.
When I was a newbie here at Mylot, 3 years ago, that was the computer I was using. There were times that I had typed a long response and when I hit submit, the screen won't change.
I lost count the times I wanted to smash the computer into a million pieces, out of frustration. And like you, I also lost some important files and pictures.
We now have a laptop but just to make sure, I have a back-up copy of all that I have in that computer. Most importantly, the pictures I took of my family, especially my growing children.
I can't afford to lose those timeless images again!Kids grow up so fast, you need to keep a photo of them as a reminder that once, they were your babies.

I am so sorry that you are having troubles with your PC. I think my local library would really get tired of seeing me because I would be there. Just have to figure how I can get on their computers for more than the hour they allow. Hope you get it up and running normally again very soon. Happy holidays!

I am glad you are getting it straightened out. I would have to be without my computer for very long.

Next time your puter does that call me !
The best thing to try is to UNPLUG everything including your monitor and leave it alone for a while.
My guess is tho you have virus. have you run your anti virus program?
But could be a program interfering too.
Let me know.

I just hate when that happens, I lost so many things over the years and finally in august my computer went down for good and I got a new on in november. It was so hard without a decent working computer. I had borrowed a computer until I could afford my own.

I hate when that happens, and you don't get a chance to save your stuff, like your pictures, I'd be upset too. I hope you get everything running again..Have a Merry Christmas too...
