Sad and strange occurence on Friday afternoon. I generally have the 5 year old , high spec , Windows 10 Pro PC that holds my ROON Core off during the week .I switch it on for the weekends as that is when I have time for music. So yesterday afternoon Windows came up OK, I doubled clicked on ROON and went to get a beer, walked back into the stereo room to a black screen of death…" Cannot Boot message " . Don’t blame ROON but what bad luck !
. Switched PC off, still will not boot and sadly when I try to Reset the machine it is unable to do a Reset or Restore from either Back Up or System Image… I guess I am looking at a new machine…and restore ROON from Back Ups on an External HD I copied them to. I also backed up to D Drive on the PC and those back ups are synced to that computer’s folder on Google Drive… I am wondering how I get folders back from that PC in the cloud and have them downloaded to my new PC ??
If they are in Google drive on the cloud you “should” be able to log into google on the new computer and get the files as it would be the same google account.
Oh>>> re the above computer having ghosts…I forgot to mention that the day before this my ROON subscription came up for Auto renewal …and was paid by Credit Card Automatically . And 10 minutes ago I just got an Alert that someone had signed into my account…although perhaps this was me signing in to the Community …
Load Linux onto your windows machine, and restore your backup from the external HD.
Very likely just you signing on here to the forum yes.
not helpful, not everyone wants to abandon Windows at a first stumble !!
If the PC won’t even attempt to start it may well be the SSD Boot drive SSD failed a new 256 GB is quite cheap certainly cheaper than binning the PC. If that fails , it more likely the motherboard - expensive !!
Then clone your Windows folder , maybe get the shop (if you used one) to do it
If you spend ,maybe consider a ROCK/NUC , you may have the SSD anyway !!
Humm, if the pc won’t even turn on then it won’t be the ssd you should be able to get to bios even if drives are toast.
My general order would be reseat ram, then suspect the power supply. Assuming this is a pc desktop
