My drive is dead (15 characters blah blah)

Yes
It died
Hard
Even the partition table died
:frowning:

But now I have a new one!
And itā€™s bigger and for free!

I donā€™t have the data from old drive yet, but I think I will get it.

I just wanted to explain my absence (Not sure if anyone ever saw it :stuck_out_tongue:)

A partition table is just the layout of the disk. If the harddrive dies, so does the partition table. What do you mean with this?

I meant, you canā€™t acces it - canā€™t read any info from it

Well your drive is dead, so of course you canā€™t read any data from it

Well, my drive was pretty much doomed before, it happened just 4 days ago, when some critical system file was overwritten or it changed in any other way.
But I still could acces all the data.

Anyway, RiP Hard Drive

Whenever - 2015
You will be missed

Believe it or notā€¦
But my PC is about to dieā€¦
It has a reboot loop (blue screen, restart, repeat)

R.I.P.
My first custom PC build
2014/5/1-2015/3/8 (it happened yesterday)

And the errors are:
Driver_corrupted_expool
Dpc_watchdog_violation
(No luck in fixing them)

Iā€™m sure this problem is caused by the flawless, amazing, mind blowing Windows 8.1

Iā€™ve had no issues with Win 8.1, have you tried reinstalling?

lol "are you new to the forum"

you joined about a month ago
tell me who is the new one

Hey, I offer this advice freely, anything you try is at your own risk.

That can happen to any windows OS. You need to disable the automatic restart on system failure.
Otherwise, on powerful machines, when a BSOD hits the machine restarts, BSOD, restart, add infinitum.

It happened to me on an old self built back in 2009. For me the cause was a lack of power management drivers and I had not told my machine to never sleep/hibernate so, without the drivers, when it did sleep it could not come back without a bsod. Lesson learned for me :blush:

If you ever get trouble with Windows and think ā€œmy PC is dead ggā€, seriously, try out a Linux distribution. It can be a safe haven with stability and security :smile:

Itā€™s called sarcasmā€¦ Ever heard of it? Kinda hard to convey through text.

That wasnā€™t sarcasm. It really wasnā€™t. Seriously, it really was not sarcasm. What you said did not relate to the original post at all, so it could not have been sarcasm. And it wasnā€™t.

I donā€™t miss my hard drive, I miss my data.

Iā€™d use Linux over Mac and pc for almost anything except for games. Games are the downfall of Linux.

I highly disagree, I have no lack of games.

Mabb is Santa is illuminati.
Your argument is invalid.
