Prices went up on the 1998 Shanghai stock exchange, from $8 to $15. That's a pretty good percentage gain.

Why is my TOR always crashing?

What do you mean "crashing"?

I won't continue working

"TOR stopped working"

You're using Tor Browser?

Trying to since last night

So I can use NGC again

Maybe download a fresh copy. It's possible the copy you're using is corrupted. If your PC is overheating, the hard reboots probably corrupted your file system.

Beyond that, I don't know.

ok

irc.oftc.net is where the Tor support channel is.

what does this mean, http://prntscr.com/f0uxb8

looking

That is a very unusual error. It's almost certainly a symptom of file system corruption.

You need to repair your file system.

How

What version of Windows do you have?

7 professional

OK, one moment, let me see how that is done.

Jeru: You right click on your hard drive icon and select "Properties", then go to the "Tools" tab and click the button to check for errors.

I have 2 hard drives

Which one do you install windows and software to?

Actually, you should probably check both of them for errors. Do backups first, though.

Back up before I do the tools?

Yes.

Is this going to be like reformatting my pc?

I hope not.

It is usually able to fix the errors.

What if it is? I don't know how to do that

I mean what happens if I do the tools and it can't fix the errors?

Then you have to reformat and reinstall.

I'm guessing your laptop has been powering off suddenly due to your overheating issues. That is probably why your filesystem is corrupted.

I don't know how to reformat and reinstall

Well, you don't have to worry about it until after the error checks are done.

It will probably be able to fix it.

Then why do I need to back up before doing the tools?

Because doing the tools might erase some of my files?

So doing the tools is almost like reformatting?

Because anything that messes with your filesystem could result in data loss, so if you have files you want to keep, back them up first.

No

Doing tools is messing with my filesystem?

Yes.

Can I stay here while doing the tools?

Yes

okty

Choose the option to check, but not repair.

ok

It will tell you if it found errors. That won't mess with your filesystem.

If it finds errors, then you can do the repair. It will probably restart your PC, then do the repairs before starting Windows.

Jeru: I think you have to uncheck the box that says "Automatically fix file system errors". Then it will only check, not repair.

No reboot required.

ok

If the repair fails I need to reformat?

No

Oh, the repair, maybe yese.

The check, no.

What will happen if I did not reformat anyway?

You PC will continue to be annoying.

IT might not boot, but most of the time it will.

I'm hoping the repair will be OK, and you won't have to worry about it.

I have an extra PC I can loan you :)

I cannot reformat, I don't know how

My brother taught me a long time ago and I can't remember it anymore

And I don't think I have the essentials needed for reformatting

I can't help you with that via IRC.

I know

I probably will just have to suck it up

I'm just voicing out

I'm allowed to do that

haha

Yes :)

I have to get ready for a meeting, but I'll be around if you need me.

For a few more minutes.

Why did my files corrupted?

were

If your PC turned off suddenly without a proper shutdown procedure, it would have interrupted the writing of a file. When that happens, it's like taking apart a car to replace a part, and then stopping suddenly without reassembling the car.

Just because of that?

Not because of the things I download everyday?

Yes.

What will happen after the tools?

It will reassemble the car.

Is the check going to take hours? and the repair?

I don't know how long it will take. It depends on how big your drive is, and how fast your PC is.

For mine, it takes maybe 10 minutes or something.

If your drive is failing, then it needs to scan the whole disk to look for bad sectors, but that probably is not an issue in this case.

If it has to scan the whole disk, that can take a long time.

How long is your meeting?

For just the filesystem checks, it should be quick.

I probably won't be back for several hours.

I don't know what i will do next

With what?

I don't know

I don't know what's gonna happen next with my pc

If you need more PC help, you can try some of the help channels. There are good websites for it too. Do you have internet on your phone?

If you have some other way to get online, then you can get help while your PC is rebooting or doing whatever it does.

I can't access irc on my phone

it doesn't work like this

If your phone is an Android or iOS phone, it should be able to get on IRC.

You just need an IRC client for it.

Is it Android?

I don't know how to use my android phone

I use my ios. The IRC there is too small.

Me neither.

I'm still doing back up

Are you leaving now?

badon

Your device or disk was successfully scanned

Your device or disk was successfully scanned No problems were found on the device or disk. It is ready to use.

Your device or disk was successfully scanned

If you removed the device of disk before all files were fully written to it, parts of some files might still be missing. If so, go back to the source and recopy those files to your device or disk

What to do now?

No problems found is good.

Jeru: Where did you get the message about removing a device?

After the check now in tools

All that are in one pop up window. I can't screenshot it so I just typed it

Oh OK. That's just a helpful message, I don't think it applies to your case.

It looks like everything is OK.

Then why is my TOR still crashing?
