I'd be PC shopping. And, crying.
I'll add "Whoosh" to my prayer list - right behind Leanne and you! Good luck

The good news is that the PC has returned and is working again without the need to buy a new one. 
Basically what happened is that the Hard Drive that has the O/S has bad blocks/sectors in the area where the O/S is.
My friend has reformatted the SSD (bye, bye Sims) and put the O/S there,
pulled out the bad hard drive that has never worked, and he thinks was having some magnetic influence on the other drive due to location.
And left the hard drive that used to have the O/S as is. So all the data and programs that are on that drive is reachable.
I'm able to copy over all the program stuffies as I install the programs so that I have all the same data in them (for eg. Firefox!) Which makes me happy.
And as usual when I need to do a new install of programs, I'm doing a program cull for all the things that are not needed and can be not re-installed.
It's been a wonderful distraction today, and has made me quite pleased.
I'm thinking of renaming the PC from Whoosh to Lazarus Squared.

* BoilingOil rofls at the idea of renaming the box; that would serve him right for dying on you twice
Isn't that just what I suspected? Some bad blocks... that were just in the wrong place. Anyway, congratz on getting the box back. Sorry, though, about the loss your simmies.

@CatherineTCJD - Ofcourse that hurts, dear. Because tea isn't *meant* to be snorted throught the nose. It's meant to be ingested orally!
