Some bad news!

Oh? Thank you for the tip. It turned out that my issue was with my SSD where the windows was installed.

Thank you my friend :)

Yeah, I wrote it quickly before I froze again. Mybe it became a bit too dramatic. But thank you very much for worrying for me :)

SitriAbyss

Thank you very much :)

So that happened when you wanished back then? I didn't know. I was lucky that my main HDD survived, but still lost my SSD with the windows. It was reinstalled and now nothing really works.

I have had a similar issue, years and years ago. PC just froze up, and I had to fully turn of off power and restart. In my case, it turned out to be a faulty RAM module, which I could temporarily solve by removing that one and running PC with the rest of it. There was a program called MemTest I used to confirm the issue further. Maybe that is helpful to you. All the best for resolving this soon.

I pray to the computer gods for a speedy resolution!!

I'm really glad you're physically okay. The start of the post had me worried.

That is terrible news! Don't worry about the comics and posting. Just get your PC taken care of. So long as the drive isn't totally dead, you shouldn't lose any of your work. I hope they get it figured out and fixed soon though, and that it's not a big issue. :)

Yikes. Hopefully you're backing things up on a cloud somewhere. I lost all of my work to a dead computer back when I first started doing this and it stopped me entirely for years. Really sorry to hear about this. :(

I use a good old PC, but thank you for the tip :)

Also, if it's a laptop sometimes when the battery goes the computer thinks it has charge when it doesn't so you can get power issues. Can also have power issues from dying power supply. Power issues can look like all kinds of issues which sucks.

Luckily I can scratch out most of those things. I always tried to keep my PC good maintained, but sadly it's getting a little old. But I will check what you said before I go to the shop. Thank you.

Yes, I did most of that immediately. The memory and the windows are a different matter tho. I plan to buy a new PC next year with win10, so it needs to keep up for a few more months if possible. We'll see what the expert say to it later today.

SitriAbyss

I saved all my progress, so hopefully nothing will be lost. And thank you :)

SitriAbyss

Next year I will buy a brand new PC with all the latest things, including Win10.

Could also be overheating but that usually shuts down computer.

Computer problems can have many different sources. For example this could be due to a hard drive problem, like a failing hard drive. It could be that the system drive is too full. It could be an issue with memory. It could be malware and or anti malware overreacting. I've seen windows update lock up computers too, typically standard mechanical spinning disk hdd can have their performance locked up by windows update and make the whole system slow to the point it seems frozen. My guess though would be not enough ram, or hdd full, or hdd performance slow and something eating it up like win update or security scan.

Yeah, that's bad... check if the drive you use for virtual memory isn't full, dust off the inside and replug everything, maybe remove the RAM and clean it with alcohol, but you probably need to change it. Might as well for W10.

Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully none of your work will be lost. Take as long as you need to sort things out.
