OMG! Is it me or do computers always crash at the worst time?

My fiance just lost 3 hours of work when the PC spontaneously rebooted... :|

It rebboted fine and then the PC rebooted again. During the reboot, a corrupt ntfs.sys error came up. Is this something that is basically random that I can fix easily or is there something larger afoot?

I think she's hit with that new worm floating around. Check out the sticky in offtopic.

ctrl+s isn't that hard to press once every, oh, 3 hours or so.

well, it wasn't an RPC error, but I will follow the instructions.

grrrr.... I spent an hour helping my brother fix the RPC thing earlier today already! :|

Auto-recovery is now turned on at least...

if it was Word or Excel you might have a background save that it did on its own...
