The plug that my computer is attached to is right under my desk, just about where my feet like to be. I have, on more than several occasions, kicked it by mistake or rested my foot on it etc... When I do the screen suddenly goes off and I hear fan whurrr down, and I think - not again. I've learnt to 'save often' now, I still haven't learnt not to put my feet there.

Just last night!

Am in Ch7 in one of the toughest battles in the game and all of a sudden "Napster" decides it needs to be reset and closes me out of the game!

My fault I guess, I forgot to shut it down before loading BGII.

yeah just last night I was here on this board and I loaded up my BG@ game to refer to my character and switching back and forth between it and here froze my computer so I had to reset, just before I was able to submit my reply.

Just when you thought it was safe to visit this board.

That's one of the reasons both my machines have UPS You can pick up a decent one for under a 100 usd. Consider how much your computer cost and I think you'll agree it's definetely cheap insurance..

A wise man once said....... UPS..... they may not keep ya running long... but long enough to get a save. eheheh I myself have had that happen to me but I also hate when I am just about to save and something happens and it doesnt work out like you want it to and your last save was 30 mins ago....

A while back, I was playing the poorly made RPG made by Eidos, Revenant, and I was very close to the end. I was fighting some enemy and died. Now, when you die in the game, they go through all this boring crap before you can load your game again, so I like to load the game just when I die. Big mistake. Instead of loading, I saved. I do this a lot now, it's a very bad habit.
