hiya
hoep someone can give me some sort of clue to this problem
it started about a week ago when my computer just started switching itslef off, like the power cable was shorting, so i checked the cables and they seemd fine, they came n after a wiggle about,
anyway this kept happening, so i decided i would buy some new cables or even invest in a new comp, this one is getting near to retirement age

After one of the initial startup after it switched itself off i did notice some erros coming up under disk check as something wrong with system registry 32 and soem files were being truncated??? does that make sense???

Well i went on yesterday and it looked like windows was starting up for the first time,which ithough strange, so i replaced everything i could, got my desktop back ot how it was, then i noticed all my stored passwords had gone,
Now this morning, the whole of My documentments and my pictures have been wiped. gone i have done a search and cant find them

Now the bigger problem is i have a firewall activated, i have norten activated plus i have checked for the worms and bugs and nothing. norten i scan everyother day and it always says no virus'

Not really sure what to do, but i know all my university work has dissapeared and my family pictures
and yes i should have becked them up but i didnt
please can anyone give me some sort of explaination?
kind regads
