Title: Bitcoin QT/Wallet Help!?!
Post by: Eaks77 on January 04, 2014, 09:55:17 PM
Hey Everyone,
 
It looks like my primary rig has a bad Mobo.  As soon as the PSU is flipped on, it turns on for about 15 seconds and then turns off.  This is without even hitting the Mobo power button.

Anyways.... my Wallet was stored on this rigs hard drive.  I took the hard drive and installed it into another computer, hoping I can recover my BTCs.  I go into the hard drive, click on BitcoinQT and it starts up... but my wallet address has changed and my balance is zero.... HELP?!

Should my specific wallet/address with my coins be on a file somewhere?

No backups were made (I know, idiot!).  I can find my wallet.dat file.  I have not opened it or used any software on it.... but will it contain my btc on the correct address?  Or will it be the creation of the new address on this computer... after running BitcoinQt?
