no power = problems?

my question is, with absolutly no power, does it have the potential to mess up a computer?

what lead up to it. earlier today, i shut down my 6860 and pulled the battery out (it was unplugged). up until this point i have never once had a problem with the computer. a few hours later i tried turning on the computer and for no reason, a brief bluescreen of death then directly to the boot options, start windows normally or start windows diagnostics.

after 2 hours of trouble shooting, i gave up and did a complete restore using the disk, now it starts up fine with no problems. with exception of having the safely remove hardware pop up on my bar. "mass storage device F:" ??nothing plugged into my computer so im not sure what it wants to remove.

with my 8+ years of owning computers ive only once before seen a complete loss of power cause this sort of problem, and thats when i left my old compaq desktop unplugged for 2 weeks while on vacation. (never ran right after that, ended up upgrading later that week)


thanks

 

My buddy had a similar situation..his laptop power plug got disconnected right as he was trying to slide the battery in. For whatever reason(and this is the first I've seen also), his computer wouldn't boot back up. It couldn't read the HDD. And, even after installing a new HDD, and trying to read that old one as an external windows had problems accessing it. From his research, he said it was due to info being stored/locked in the cache, and prevented him from accessing it at all. Not sure exactly how he remedied it, but he did manage to get the info off of it after about a week.
