    Change this setting:
    rt. click My Computer then click Properties then Advanced then Startup and Recovery Settings then unclick Automatically restart. This should offer you error messages.

    Have you returned the modem to its' previous state?

    Also check the Device Manager: RT click My Computer then click Manage then Device Manager or go to start/run/ devmgmt.msc for any "!"

    Also: look in your Event viewer: rt. click My Computer then click Manage then Event Viewer.
    Or: Administrative Tools/Event Viewer or Start/Run/ eventvwr
    Open the system as well as the application tabs & look for X errors. Click error line for details.
    Post back the source & event id especially of errors that seem to coincide with a crash.

    I don't see how this would directly have affected the hard drive but you can download & create a floppy & run PowerMax (Maxtor's diagnostic) from the list here:
