Hey guys.
So Earlier this week I was feeling sleepy and accidentally hit hibernate before going to bed. I figure it would be too much of a hassle to wait for the damn thing to power up and power down properly, so instead I held the power button down in hibernation mode.
Bad move.
apparently when you hibernate, your pc takes a snapshot of your computer's activities which takes hard drive memory or something, and hitting the power button locked it all up. My comp could not get to the desktop and I was forced to take the laptop to a repair shop.
apparently I got a "bad hard drive" and was forced to buy a new one from them. I have to say that those clever chinese dudes are good at not speaky english when I ask technical questions, but great about highlighting shit like "we put in new anti virus software, got your music/pictures, recovered some data that seemed to have been LOST FOREVaRRRR!" but I did not get to revive my treasured personal documents and hand histories which was MOST important to me. I can't help but feel that I got played and felt so helpless against it lol. Did I get played yo?
So I lost everything and will spend a day recovering my shit. I last backed up my comp in March. So guys, back up your comp right after leaving a reply :D

ehhh i know hibernate is crap and locks up your comp randomly...
but it shoudlnt be permanent : / maybe something did break but hopefully everything on the hdd is still there and you can hook it up to a 2.5inch enclosure and get your handhistories back |

That sucks man.
If you play on stars, you can request to have your entire hand history downloaded, so you don't have to worry so much about that. I'm not sure if the other rooms would do that for you. |

for anyone else if this ever happens, ALL you have to do is, open your case go to the mobo and remove the CMOS battery, and then put it back. I know because this happened to me, it's very frustrating.
keep in mind that by removing the cmos battery, you'll have to set your date and time, and whatever special mobo settings you had (e.g Ooverclocking ).
