Fatal Crash - Overheating?
« on: May 01, 2008, 11:08:34 PM »
Hi. I'm running a Fujitsu tablet (specs here). Earlier today, I was doing some routine things (working in Excel and surfing the web) when everything suddenly went black. The PC shut down completely without warning. I tried to reboot, and the power light came on. What worries me though, is that the hard drive doesn't appear to be spinning at all. Unsurprisingly, nothing appears on screen. It was running fairly hot today, so overheating was my first thought. My two questions are:

1) Does this diagnosis sound correct? Would you suspect overheating, or something else?
2) If I did overheat my hard drive, do I have any chance of recovering the data?

Thank you all.

Pete
