Just Had a Scary Moment

[jpgr]

Not an "OMG" moment or "There's Blood Everywhere" moment, but more of an "Oh Crap" moment.

I had the PC on standby and was coming back to use it after a few hours. Moved the mouse to get things started and the damn thing just shut itself off. OK, not too bad until the damn thing wouldn't turn on again. I was like, "Oh crap, what about my fics?" (some had been worked on since I saved to disc). Then it was "Damn, my iTunes library!"

I ended up turning off the surge protector for about 10-15 minutes and, as you can see, it turned back on. Whew! No I can sleep better tonight.

Is this a sign I should look to a new PC?

Hope everyone had a great holiday!

The PC I think is about 4 years old. I just had a new memory card put in a few weeks ago so I'm sure they cleaned out the cobwebs. As for a restore disk, I don't think that would have done much good at the time as I couldn't get it to turn on. Thanks for your ideas though
