    Hi there. Just a few minutes ago, my power went out and turned off my computer. Normally this is fine, I just restart my computer and all is well, but now when I boot my computer it acts strangely.

    Some ions on the right of the task bar are missing or invisible (internet access, sound, discord etc)

    Date is set to 2100, 2200 or 2300

    Whenever I restart my PC, it asks for a disk check, and if I leave my desktop sitting long enough it asks to repair my main drive

    No internet access

    I'm not particularly tech savvy so I'm not sure what to do about this. Any help would be appreciated immensely.

    My HTC surround won't shut down, and is generally acting strange...

    My HTC surround won't shut down, when I take the battery out to get it to shut off, it turns back on and reverts back to where it was the past monday. The background, the apps the music, everything. It all started on the monday, when I was on a website,
    and then it just starting not responding. I pressed the windows key, and it froze, so I held the power button to turn it off, and it wouldn't. Now its acting strange at different times.

    Sometimes the Apps take a realllyyy long time to open, and I noticed the internet browser history taking a abnormally long time to delete it, even if I just went to one site. Also some of the tiles are now just solid colors where the HTC Hub app, or other
    games used to have pictures. It's just acting strange, but only at certain times...it almost semms like whenever I turn on the Data connection it acts up for a couple minutes.

    My new Vista computer sometimes unexpectedly shuts off. Any suggestions?

    OK, first complete your system specs, as it will help us diagnose your problem. Second, can you be a bit more descriptive about the "shut off"? Does it go through the windows shut down procedure, or does the power just shut off completely?
