I once got pretty noided by my hard drive reporting to be empty once, thought I encountered a cryptolocker in progress. Proceeded to hard shut-down the PC and forensically inspect my HDD, turns out the HDD's USB firmware was starting to fail but my data was fine.
Do you have a CO detector in your living space and is it working? Do you have any reason to doubt your judgement here? Your theory seems far-fetched to me and the way you mention details raise my paranoia/mental illness/troll alarm.

I'm certain this is breaking rules, do a write-up and re-post tomorrow with proof under a new account (you'll likely be flagged for a dupe if under the same one).
But, please I'm not saying that @codeninjajosh is on target because of that.
