Fixing Windows Boxes that Crash After Blackouts?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday December 13, 2005 @04:55PM from the smells-like-a-hardware-issue dept.

UnseenTomorrow asks: "Everytime there's a power outage in my house, my Gateway computer crashes. It's only 2.5 yrs old. After the crash the computer just will not allow Windows to boot (yes, this includes "Safe Mode" and every other boot option in that menu). Should I explicitly say that I'm tired of rebuilding or restoring the image everytime? Does anyone have any idea of what could be the problem. I've other computers running fine after the power outage with the same OS but different hardware manufacturer. Any clues or suggestions would be greatly appreciated."

"...Or you could just go with Linux." ... or you could just move to a new place that doesn't have power failures! Heck, if he moves far enough north, he won't need to run fans on his CPUs, either!!!!
