| 250069 | 2004-07-05 22:37:00 | I left my computer on overnight to download some files, and to my surprise, when I woke up my computer has crashed. So I try rebooting, but it turns out, the bios cant detect the hdds. But after about umm.. 10 minutes, the bios detected my hdds again... and I can boot as if nothing has happened... but is this a sign of anything major? | DDDD (4314) | ||
| 250070 | 2004-07-06 09:08:00 | Possibly. Your system might have gotten a bit hot maybe - could be any number of things... or could be a one-off. Mike. |

| 250071 | 2004-07-06 10:27:00 | Have you got a power filter for your computer? If you haven't, the cause of your problem maybe a "spike" in the power. This can cause your computer to lock up. Have had something like this happen several years ago and had to reset up the bios. Jeff. |

| 250072 | 2004-07-06 11:32:00 | sit up all night watching it and it will work as fine as normal. leave it alone and it will crash. standard procedure. |

| 250074 | 2004-07-07 02:02:00 | Ok.. I have been able to get my computer working for the rest of yesterday, but then BIOS failed to detect my hdds (all of them) and I just find out today that my C: (windows) drive is completely formated :S... why is that? Also are there any program for me to recover some files from C: drive once I finish reinstalling windows (btw it was just windows, all my other drives didnt get touched at all :S even those partitions on the same hard drive as my C) | DDDD (4314) | ||
| 250075 | 2004-07-07 02:03:00 | oh yeah.. i forgot to mention BIOS was able to detect the drives again before that -_- | DDDD (4314) | ||
| 250076 | 2004-07-07 02:58:00 | Do you have a firewall running on your computer? It sounds very much like someone managed to get in while you had the computer running all night and has done some rather malicious mischief. There have been a few data recovery utilities mentioned on this forum over the past couple of months but I can't remember what they were. Hopefully someone else will be able to point you in the right direction. |

Also are there any program for me to > recover some files from C: drive once I finish uh, it would definitely pay NOT to install Windows if you're wanting to recover files. In fact, its best not to use the drive at all until you can recover the files you want. If you're in or near Tauranga, I might be able to recover your files for you. Mike. |
