Here's the scoop. I recently went to clean out my computer and decided to take out the RAM. After cleaning the slots out I put the RAM back in, so I thought. I went to power back up and a blank screen appeared, then I started to smell something frying. After powering down I realized one side of a RAM stick wasn't all the way set!!!! I knew I was F$&#*ed then. After further inspection, I noticed a chip on the MOBO was also fried.
My question is, is it possible to have lost the data on my HDD's?
I have already put in an order for a new MOBO, processor and RAM, I am aware my video card could be out also, but thought I would try those 3 things first and hope for the best. It's my data I'm worried about.
It was time for an upgrade anyways!
