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!

I think the hamster has company as it's moving faster now. And where were you in my time of need? I was looking for advice from Ed. You weren't home, you didn't answer your cell...

I think I'm ok for now. I'll back up those fics and avoid using the "standby" option.
