Hi;
I usually try to help on boards like this and now I am making one.. heh. Well I left my computer on sharing bandwidth with the stanford folding@home daniweb team overnight and came back the next evening to find my OS toast. I tried to repair it via windows recovery disc with no avail. I then called my computer repair friend who told me to install BARTPE via a cd or dvd to troubleshoot it. I did that and to my surprise bartpe worked; I then tried to run checkdisk with bartpe where it tries to recover any bad sectors and on stage 3 the computer just powered down and wont even turn on! I get a little flicker from the hard drive light and then nothing. I hope someone can tell me if stanford folding@home cause this since they were using my bandwidth and cpu power or if it was everyday hard drive failure. I am really upset because I had a song on the computer a band was going to record and a book I was writing. I was stupid and backed up to a partition *bangs head*

Jump to PostSwap the power supply anyway. After an electrical fault its always good to do it as it could fail and toast everything. Better safe than sorry.
"power supply seems to have gone haywire it starts smoking so much that I am afraid of my pc catching on fire"
