brynnfromtheblock Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Our power goes out quite frequently here and today it went out 3 times for a couple of minutes each.... The last time it did I couldn't get the computer to come back on. I turned everything off, nothing. The monitor was on but said it was receiving no info. I had a moment of panic thinking my computer can't die now, BF is coming!!! Luckily took all the plugs out of the wall and let it sit a while and it came back up. Last year our cable went out a week before BF and didn't come back up for a while after, I had to go to my mom's to get my Gotta Deal fix!! So now I'm sitting here making copies of all the digital pictures that I haven't backed up in the last couple of months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
