I'm up shit creek right now...


Question

Posted

So there was a pretty bad electrical storm today. When I got home my computer was off, but I usually leave it in sleep mode which means it lost power sometime during the storm. It's plugged into a surge protector as well as my modem, and my cable line runs through a surge protector on it's way to the modem.

When I restarted it, it did a disk check to make sure my HD's where in working order. During the check it deleted 5 files, but I couldn't tell you which ones it deleted.

Afer it finished it restarted my PC. It normally takes about 2 minutes from cold boot to desktop and all programs being fully loaded, this time it took about 30 minutes just to get to my desktop, and I don't really even know if it's done yet loading all my programs.

At the moment, it says my network is offline, even though I'm online typing this. My headphones say they are working, but in vent it says: Failed to open input device, it may be in use by another program. rc = -10. So I can't talk or hear anything. Anything I try and launch from my desktop takes atleast 10 - 15 minutes to load. I tried restarting twice, to no luck. Same issues as before. I tried opening my task manager to see what all was running, but apart from my normal services, there is nothing fishy. Nothing is using memory or cpu that shouldn't be and my cpu is only running at 2% and I'm using about 1.5 megs of the 8 total megs of memory I have.

I tried going to my control panel to delete the last thing I installed, thinking maybe it had something to do with this. The only thing I see under installed programs is adobe products. Nothing else.

I am at a loss as what to do other than a full re-install of windows, but I really don't want to do all that again.

Any ideas?

Oh I should mention.

I tried a system restore but when I launched System Restore it told me:

System Restore seems to not be functioning correctly on this system.

So I just connected my external hard drive, and while I wait for it to recognize I plugged it in (been 8 minutes already) I'm just typing this to let you guys know I'm doing a full wipe, installing Windows on a different HD and taking my main drive out to see if it is the cause.

Well my icon just popped up saying my external drive is plugged in, so I'm gonna back up all my important shit, then get to work on a fun project.

Wish me luck.
