[font=verdana,arial,helvetica] well almost lost everything...[/font] [font=verdana, arial, helvetica]First I thought it was someone who hacked my computer again and rebooted it, then harddrive came to mind next since its ticking and about to go out, then when I suddenly realized my stereo reset itself too..

so I don't know what power thingy it could be now...i think it has had something to do with the surge protector or what actual electicity entering the house..all i had on was the computer and stereo (use it for computer speakers)

What's ur thought? When I first booted up some start apps were out and some reg settings were out...

I think i have a backup of reg settings made lately but um I sure would like to get my middle wheel going again on my mouse..

Any indications on what could of happened would be nice and what to look out for?

Your surge protector wont protect you from "dirty power" (fluctuating), just a killer spike..........and if its a cheap one might not save you from even that. It could be the power coming into the home. It could be the line you are plugged into. Are the sterio and computer on the same circuit? Is it possible the circuit is'nt large enough to handle both? Odd. The breaker didn't trip (you said they just reset).

Well guess what I forgot where my surge protector was plugged in its right next to my computer with a not so good but okay extension plug-in anyway I had a huge fight with my fan and it unplugged my the plug and shut my comptuer off, restarted everything is fine and much better, such as before I never could of gotten my middle button back working no matter how much I tried and then after that Incident It suddenly works.. xD
