i was seting up a neon onto the side panel of my pc (only the position of it not messing with power) and sddenly the power of my pc went out though the rest of the pc's and power in the house was fine when i rebooted it the C:\ which is RAID 1 (mirror) said verified instead of normal and the pc would shut off so i tried the vista disk to no avail because it would shut off after it loaded the progress bar that says loading vista files. i didn't want to re format or delete partition other wise i couldn't get back 100+ gb of data and registry keys as my games are on the secondary raid 1 anyway i put the RAID 1 C:\ drive in my uncles on its own it booted up and i was able to login and use free bsd or bcd and fix it with my bro's help so we did all that stuff (didn't see what util's he used in it) then shut down put my uncles drive in again and now my pc boots and says rebuild (according to storage matrix menu thing (ctrl+I)) it means the OS will rebuild it but when i login it is fine till it shuts off again now it won't even get past the loading of vista screen with the green bar (64x btw) before it shuts off so now i'm stuck at that point and i need all that data and being raid i can't recover it by recovery of partition because it will shutoff or if the drives r seperated they get rid of everything on there i can use em in ide mode i think any help plz srry for the long post but this is challenging.

yea i usually ain't punctual or whatever sorry anyway i fixed it after it finally fixed itself through check disk scan or something when my bro was in the room he told me it was possibly fixing itself funny thing is i let it do check disk scanning a lot kinda odd unless he contributed to its recovery so unfortunately i can't post a fix for it as a future reference.

Moving the neon probably made a loose connection in the power connector for it, which caused a short circuit or Arc, either of which PSUs are designed to shut down if they detect. The PC suddenly powering off in the middle of whatever it happened to be doing at the time will have created some errors on the disk. Chkdsk /f would have fixed them.

Next time turn off the power when installing anything inside the PC.
