when i was working on a university assignment, my computer suddenly shut down and started but up, nothing else in the house turned off so it was just my computer
it was lucky i had saved just before and was getting screen shots of the model's wire-frame as indicated in the requirements of the assignment, after i put in the password for my computer i went to see if the file was still ok as it had spent the past 10 hours on that model, when i started up 3DS Max 9 it went though the normal loading screen but after that went way, nothing
i've tried using Control Panel to repair it just in case of a corrupted file but it still did the same, i uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still did the same thing
I have Windows XP with an Intel Pentium 4 Possessor at 3.40Ghz (obviously overclocked, it was refurbished and brought on E-Bay), 1 GB of RAM, the computer has only ever been connected to the internet once otherwise (to get the trial serial keys for RMXP and RMVX) it's never been on, i have had it since Christmas last year and never had any problems
