So I get home yesterday from work, and a recent install has been bugging me that I need to restart my computer.  So I decide before doing anything I’ll just restart my computer.  Or so I thought.  Windows wouldn’t load back up.  In the end I ended up losing everything on my C: Drive.  It’s not 10:25 PM the next day, and I’m finally re-installing Civilization 4.  Hopefully it’s stable now.  Earlier today, while messing with the hard drive issue my 2nd monitor decided to (literally) go up in smoke.   Smoking monitors smell BAD.  So I’m out a monitor, data, save games, and time.  I could have done without this mess, and the headache that came with it.
