Thanks. Unfortunately my music software no longer works right now -- all my instruments are gone for the time being, but I /am/ getting a new desktop, and I will be able to do VA work thanks to new equipment. I'll keep you posted.
Oh crap, always a huge shame when a system crash happens! Hope you could salvage all your data. Broken hardware can be expensive but it's the HDD you want to really look out for ):
Most of everything is okay but the computer itself is trashed. I'm getting a new desktop soon and will keep you all posted as much as possible. And I wanna thank you and the rest of the gang for bearing with me so long. It's actually taken me some days to get the trash heap online. My music software is completely borked, just about, for the time being, but I will be able to do VA work if needed.
Love you all so much. Poke the crew for me!
Well that certainly sucks, but having had critical system failures at whiles myself, I can relate. Best of luck getting your technological difficulties sorted, my friend. If there's anything I can help you out with, please let me know. Prayers incoming.
Thank goodness for the ability to save things in the Cloud! It saves them from becoming irretrievable should such unfortunate circumstances arise. I once lost a bunch of music files and dozens of hours of work all because of a faulty power supply.
Thanks, bud! I knew someone had to be praying for me, as even in the midst of all this, I've had uncommon fortune and blessings that could have only come from the Most High. People offering to build me PCs for basically free, even, sweepstakes coming in, when every penny helps, you know.
I actually was able to drag stuff off my old HDD with Lazesoft's rescue software, and would have been wrecked if not for that. Nothing works right now like it's supposed to -- can't even read books I have because of DLL errors that I can't afford to fix, but things will be back to normal... well, eventually, haha. I've got my lists and serials and everything. Mixcraft thank God apparently gave me an unlimited license, etc.
Sorry to hear about your PC issues there too. I know what it's like, and it's the most hopeless, frustrating feeling! Almost like internet-impermanence, but worse, because it's in the home!
Sounds you really are pretty proficient with computers! Would've probably just reinstalled everything soon as I went through those built-in system repair guides during booting (if you even get that far) and couldn't get any further... unless it was some lose cable somewhere in the computer case. Only time I've received BSOD errors the past decade or so was after upgrading to some (I assume) bad RAM. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it appeared at random... finally I just switched back to my old RAM and since then: all good!
Those weeks easily become more than just weeks hmm... about the HDD btw, did you figure out if it was the culprit? Do you ever check for SMART errors on those (CrystalDiskInfo is pretty nice, and free)? And yeah I'm definitely still down for the lyrics stuff!
Something tells me the platter was messed up. Bad image error. Right now there's no real point to trying to fixing anything else other than maybe the Windows, but I'm loathe to shell out more money when Microsoft refuses to give me a genuine copy of Windows for the /genuine/ code that came with my PC.
The HDD itself seems to be working fine, but when it comes to platter drives, it's usually an unexpected shutdown when you're writing to the disk that corrupts the drive. So a reformat like I did should have done the trick. Now I just hope the heads don't skitter on the disk and screw it up the rest of the way LOL.
Something I noticed, the videocard was rated a 4 before the massive crash. Now it's rated a 1, the worst possible, just barely running. Could have to do with some software aspect, or maybe the tin solder has grown hair and is shorting out somewhere. Either way, the PC is almost junk at this point.
About the lyrics -- if we're talking NGAP15, @Troisnyx has been managing that project and I'm basically useless for it at the moment since none of my software is acting right.
If we're talking a personal collab, that sounds like fun. My memory is terrible. Don't shoot me! lol
Unexpected shutdowns on a laptop though, with battery and all? Seems like a thing that'd happen more often with a power outage on a regular one. I've been wanting to get a UPS a long time with that in mind but those are... pretty expensive. And power outages seem pretty rare anyway. The occasional one's the reminder.
Would think mechanical drives in a laptop could get plenty of issues from unexpected movement otherwise?
Weird change if it IS running; the new score's not for the simpler built-in GPU instead?
Ah, well if you need any help with that @Troisnyx feel free to send a message!
XD That would be fun too now that you suggest it!
I think the issue has something to do with a lot of drivers not functioning, or possibly a wacked out windows install. Either way, I guess the PC is half-ass working, and that gives me time to figure out how to get another one. I have two other slower laptops as backups. May actually start using them.
Feel free to shoot me another PM! I'm trying to get around to properly answering them LOL
Maybe salvageable/combinable parts from the different laptops possible to use as mold for combined supercomputer? Indeed always good with backups...
When time frees up a bit: will do. :)
Hmm... Maybe. Although considering the other computers are slower, I could just create one big brick out of 3 working machines LOL.
Bigger, bulkier... a better brick in all possible ways! :P
Y'know, now that you mention it, I do have my old franken computer somewhere. Thing is so busted, the track pad and the wifi don't work anymore LOL. The board has been reflowed 6 times, and the screen was replaced with a completely different model that just happened to have the same locations for the hinges.
Oh wow. XD You definitely use your technology to it's very fullest and furthest potential! None of that buy new/throw away culture that seems so prevalent otherwise. I haven't either, btw, though so far all of my old computers, going about twenty five years back, still work. :) Only things that ever had to be swapped were two PSU's and a GPU (each one on a different computer). Simple fixes...

It happens, you'll work so hard on your content and you seem to forget your computer crashes and that's it. It happens to me also, it scares me. Thankfully the hardware I need are cheap now a days. I decided to resort getting two laptops in my bedroom because just in case one burns out, I wouldn't look so dumb and desperate running to the store to get another one. It pays off in the long run and it helps me save myself the strength to use pushing away those sales people who offer me to charge extra for add-ons services I don't really need. I barely use the other laptop unless I really have too. It's a 32-bit CPU laptop also.

Hey man, don't feel too bad. Buying a spare laptop is at least less embarrassing than using your ex-girlfriend's laptop she sort of kind of probably wants back lmao. Me, I'm really paranoid this new Seagate drive is gonna crap out on me. I shunted all my files off on it last minute into a single folder, hahah.
