My computer was unplugged before it got turned off. Should i be concered?
Answers:
Sudden power losses can cause the current going through the system to build up. This can result in damage to vital system parts and costly repairs. There are incidents where we have no choice but to pull the plug; however, it is not wise to use this as a common method to turning off the computer.
You should always insure that you back up your data/documents to prevent data loss. You can do a defrag and check disk (chkdsk /f) through command prompt to see if the system discs have any damage.
Command prompt can be accessed through the Start menu and clicking the Run button. Type in cmd in this area and press Run.
The last program is to use sfc /scannow in command prompt as it will check all System Files for corruption that could have occurred during the power loss or at any other time.
a quick loss of power may just cause windows to tell you that you dident shut down the computer "the right way" I say it should be ok..
usually not but it can delete files
try to keep that from happening in the future
It is fine. if you are still concerned just run a virus check, but it does not harm the computer. You might have lost any unsaved data though.
It's ok. you don't have to worry about that.
make sure this doesn't happen again.
