I feel your pain man, I fucking hate it when that happens especially when your working on a school paper or on photoshop. So I finally got fed up with my PC turning off and bought a Surge Protector.
Well, you know, similar has happened to me. You see, the moron who designed my case decided it'd be an ingenious idea to put the power and reset buttons on the TOP of my case. Now, I have a habit of using my case as a foot rest. One slight push of the reset button, my computer's off instantly. Although it takes 7 seconds to turn off my computer using the power button, I have accidentally done it before, multiple times. Needless to say, my reset button is now unplugged from the motherboard, and my power button would be too, if I could find a replacement button that I could just keep inside my case. *sigh* Luckily I haven't lost much of importance.
I know how sucky that must be, I use my case as a footrest too....it's ok in my computer, but in my grandad's or friend's houses...oops. _______________ Anyway, whoever has replied to this thread, thank you for your effort and time. I guess the file is officially kaput, but it means a lot to me for y'all to try.
