Sad news
Hey guys!
I mentioned in my previous update but I just wanted to update everyone on my work PC situation.
Today morning I had another crash and after a restart I could not start Windows. I got to my repair guy an hour ago and it might be a faulty power supply or an SSD that needs to be replaced. If that's the case I might be unable to do any work on comics and other projects for who knows how long. I remember last time this was the case and it was a nightmare to get everything in working condition again.
So that's the situation. I will get a call in two hours and then we'll see. I update everyone on the situation. If it's the SSD hopefully it can be cloned to keep everything how it was. So please everyone cross your fingers for me.

Glad you are doing better
Thank you. If my PC feels good, I do as well :D
Hey Sitri! Damn such bad news. Right now it is important to not panic, vent the anger and plan your return, your fans will wait and support you because you deserve it. Focus on a small project in the meantime to kill time as you put everything back in working order. I hope what you lost is just models and not renders. I have a huge backup of models if you need any. The best of luck to you!
Thank you very much VIP. According to my repair guy, it was the SSD. It will be replaced tomorrow and then I see the damage. There is a good chance things can be salvaged.
This is such concerning news! I recently just went through a gremlin chase of my own with my computer. I hope this is doesn’t get complicated!
It really is sadly. I will know more tomorrow, and I hope it will not set back things too much.
Son of a B! I hope they get it fixed and you don't lose any data! So sad for you, Sitri! Computer problems are the worst for us! Is there anything I can do to help?
Ugh... it really is our worst nightmare. I hope it will turn out okay tomorrow. And thank you very much for your offer, I really appreciate it :)
It could also be RAM. Good luck!
It was most likely the SSD, but I will know more tomorrow. Hopefully things can be saved.
My fingers remain crossed and I wish you all the luck I got.
Thank you very much, it means a lot :)
normally easy to fix im guessing it powers on ok just it dont boot up with windows , wouldnt worry too much its an easy to sort fix might take time but its easy now if it was a motherboard issues then id worry if the pc post boots ie does its on screen bits then windows refuses be corrupt copy best of luck whatever your repair guy does, id of tried to reinstall windows then gone from there
It was very likely the SSD. But I will know more tomorrow. Thank you very much for the suggestions.
That is bad news. I hope the problem turns out to be minor and easily solved.
Yes, I hope so as well. Thank you.
I wish you the best of luck this has to be stressful so hopefully it's something that can be fixed easily or at least easier.
It's really agonizing to wait and I hope you're right, thank you.
