      The OS (Windows 7) got fried but I was able to do a restore. But it just gets odder. One, and there were two plugged in, one mouse was fried, a fairly new Logitech Ball mouse. Also my new and formerly beloved 2 TB drive. The weirdest thing is that my main gmail went down a hole. Can't recover it because google now says it doesn't exist even with recovery. Now, I've worked computers since windows 98 and even before. Tore 'em down, rebuilt and repaired them. Never seen anything remotely close to this. Any ideas? I know you''ll need more info, but I'm getting tired.

        As for the machine itself, I would suspect that it likely got hit with a power surge. This would explain why this suddenly happened.

        As for Google, that is very bizarre, and I've never heard of that before. This makes me wonder whether or not you've been hit with a virus.
