Hi, so one day after coming back from visiting a friend, I turn on my PC it boots up like usual and I login (I have windows 8). All my programs start like normal and then all of a sudden my background goes black and it says something like this "C:/user/my account name/pictures is not found" or something like that, so I paniced and restarted my PC thinking that my hard drive didn't start. So it booted up again and it was still the same. So I shut down my PC and opened that bad boy up, thinking that maybe somehow one of the wires on my harddrive disconnected somehow. Which turned out to be false, as it was the same as when I opened it up last time. So I put everything back and now when I turn on the PC all my fans go on full blast for like a minute and then go back to normal. But nothing pops up on the screen. So now I have it open and running it for the past 10 min, as I was writing this post, hoping that something has changed but to now avail.

My Specs are here.

I built it mid August of 2014

Edit: So after a couple of force shutdowns and booting it up again and its all back to normal, strange, so anyways im still wondering why this happened

If the picture was on your hdd, maybe is was somehow failed to load, and then finally after you rebooted couple of times it loaded. But all the apps didn't probabl7 dissapear, they just probably was.... idk now xD
