The fact that a 1000 songs disapeared is what made me think you've got bad sector(s) on your HD

Once upon a time quotes like Nat "King" Cole would cause a crash but even those no longer cause me problems. I don't know if thats an issue with some and not others or what.

Anything with electricity running through it creates a magnetic field, now whether an amp would create one strong enough to corrupt HD files I do not know. Maybe if your PC sits right on it, but I doubt it.

Be aware that at this point MTU may believe you have Hoster on two computers. If you reinstall windows again you may have to ask MTU to reset your registration.

What happened when you crashed. Did Hoster stop responding or did the PC freeze up or shut down, did you get any error messages?

Did you check event viewer to see if it recorded any problems?
Any programs running in the background like Nortons or Mcaffee that might be creating conflicts?
