maybe explorer crashing was a syntom of a lot of the system crashing, and that generalncrash that caused data loss?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

In my experience it's a pretty common symptom of a drive that's about to die or is connected improperly. (I had a PC where the vibration from a fan on the hard drive cage would cause a SATA cable to come loose over time.)

Explorer gets hung up trying to read data, becomes unresponsive, and crashes or causes a BSOD.
