Gateway Parts

what happens if i improperly shut down my vista gateway laptop?

i want to know the risks, it is an M series laptop made in mid to late 2007, sometimes it isnt properly shut down cause im angry sometimes its cause of a power failure, see, i unplug my battery when its plugged into the wall at home so i can conserve battery life and it seems to work, i would say on average i have about 3 disruptive shutdowns in a period of 10 days. and when my laptop was getting repaired i noticed 2 disruptive shutdowns. so on that basis alone i assume it wont do much damage answe number 11 reminded me to ask where the hard disk is located cause sometimes i punch the left side of my laptop and i think the screen goes white for a millisecond

1. Nothing.
2. All of your files will be deleted
3. Nothing, just dont make a habit of it.
4. It's totally FUKCED now
5. Its more of a Windows problem than anything. Physically the PC will be fine, just make sure Windows closes like it should.
6. hit control alt delete go to task manager shut down locked up programs then normally shut it down
7. I do it to mine all the time. i have a T series. Vista won't let you do a lot of damage to the OS. It will be fine. run scan disc & defrag on it every 2 weeks. Oh yeah, get a registry cleaner. Computer will run like new all the time. I have had mine for a year and a half, and it runs like the first day I brought it home.
8. As long as there are not any important programs open, like something you want to save or possibly installations then it should be fine. I barely ever click the Shut Down button, once again as long as I have nothing important open
9. u start to loose your file and your powerstate will start working improperly which will cause the chip to start acting up and the u'll just get a screen with white and black textures or no power... try not to get mad.. www.bshox.com
10. No actual "damage" is likely to occur, but you will fragment your memory a lot faster that way - it's a good thing to defrag after such things happen!!
11. nothing but if you continue doing that their could be a huge malfunction on your laptop
12. it could damage some files.
