  1. Power outage while PC in sleep


    My PC suffered a power Outage while it was in sleep mode. When power came back, I started it up and it was running very slow, could not even get Task Master to work. Re Boot and screen message said a disk cleanup was necessary. When that did not work, went to USB startup disk and chose repair start up. Went thru that song and dance a couple of times, but ultimately it worked *Smile

    My question is: If PC is in sleep mode, and info or data is stored in RAM, why did the startup disk go bananas (its a SSD) when power was cut? It has a APC Power Back UPS to protect from electricity surges (BTW, not even a peep when power went off).

    I understand lost data on screen, yeah ok, but why damage to data on SSD?

    :)

  2. Power Outage / lost all files

    I'm running Windows 10 on an hp ENVY 23 desktop and there was a power outage that lasted for all of 10 seconds. The pc was on at the time and when the outage shut it off I powered it back on to find all of my files I had on the desktop are now gone. Is
    this a normal function for a pc that goes through a power outage? Also I tried to do a recovery and restore but I get the message that no changes could be made.

  3. Resetting PC followed by power outage equals disaster

    Hello,

    Recently attempted to reset my PC (windows 10 home) and apparently there was a power outage while I was away.

    I downloaded the "Media Creation Tool" and using a brand new flash drive it was not able to find the drive.

    I then used RUFUS to burn the ISO image onto the drive... however, when I attempted to start the computer it does not read the ISO or flash drive.

    All I can get is the "Preparing" and then the error telling me there was a power outage.

    Power outage while PC in sleep

    Given that power is still applied, and apparently your UPS was ineffective, then any power surge of sufficient magnitude to bypass all the stabilising circuitry could cause data corruption.

    If that was able to generate apparent write operations, anything could happen.

    Sounds as if it's worth checking your UPS and running a few tests. Household circuit breakers can be tripped by something as simple as a light failing (and that applies to different lighting technologies too) - a ridiculous situation I've always regarded as a Health and Safety risk. (I saw my elderly parents left unable to do anything but remain seated when this happened once).

    (Note- we strongly recommend disk imaging- e.g. Macrium Reflect (free) - recovery from data corruption, ransomware, even if your disk fails (new disk needed!) - relatively quickly and without technical help).

    See if you can run administrative command prompt: sfc /scannow
    If using windows 7, 8 or 10 except version 1703 also run: dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    Also plan an overnight run of chkdsk /f /r
