Have you ever had a computer horror story? A few days ago I turned on my computer to see an error message: disk boot failure. Spent hours trying to fix it and it fixed itself... weird. What kind of problems have you had and how did you fix them?

the "fatal exception" as i observed its in memory. theres something wrong with the cached memory, reboot to clean the cached.

Long time ago, when data recovery was not technically good as it is todays, one guy composed a technical e-book called 200-ways to recover your harddisk. There are many weird solutions in the book, for example have your HDD frozen. This is the only thing I can remember. I think you can try.

I had this experience when I was about 12y/o. My brother has a pc that runs in DOS mode. I have no idea what a computer virus was. One time when I was using the pc the monitor turned off & when it turned back on I saw a face of the devil and it was laughing. I run outside and told my brother the pc was possessed. -LOL- That was a long time ago.
What I experience now in my pc regularly is when I boot it the 1st time my 2nd hard drive is sometimes not detected. I have to restart it a few times before it get back to normal.
