Same as the five letter one, start from where the previous one finished ("Hazy") and end up at the target ("Mist")

Was greeted by a dead PC when I got home. It generally runs 24/7 and is apparently upset with being off for a week and won't boot. On laptop at the moment but will be contacting my PC supplier later today as it's still under warranty.....

Had a chat with the tech guy to check things, it looks like the SSD has gone AWOL. Seems it didn't like being off for a week. Dropped it off this morning, they say 3-5 working days to fix, so no crunching for a while. I've never bothered with BOINC on the laptop, didn't seem worth it as it's not on very much. So it looks like I'll be getting a clean Windows install. I've got all my important stuff backed up but it'll be a bit of a chore reinstalling the rest. It'll stop me getting bored, anyway.....

Right, where were we? And yes, it is just us on here these days. It does seem a bit strange that we're the UK top team but the forum is very quiet....

Probably the easiest way to fix it, just put another SSD and copy of Windows in. Good job you've got everything backed up, most people haven't. It may be a bit of a chore but at least you haven't lost anything.
