Hi there guys.
I have noticed (duh) that several of you have problems with getting into your computer when it crashes for unknown reasons. I propose that you find and download a Linux Rescue CD (any Live Linux version cd can be used for this purpose. A "live Linux CD" boots a Linux OS from the CD-ROM into RAM without touching the OS on the hard disk !!, useful?), or the UBCD4W (Ultimate Boot Disk For Windows, which functions as a live cd) From any of these CD:s you can boot and repair your PC. The UBCD4W, comes with numerous useful tools (if you download it as is, or if you prefer to make it yourself, it is possible to load the UBCD4W:cd with the preferred software of your choice. Google, and you will find! I used the information provided on this page to create my personal UBCD4W and it worked like a charm: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
Or try these:

http://www.ubcd4win.com/downloads.htm
http://www.knoppix.org/

There are several more.
The friendly Swede.
