Adobe Photoshop CC Reset and Most PSDs are corrupted

I purchased a subscription to Adobe Photshop CC 2014 (2014.2.0 20140926.r.236) about a month ago and installed on a new Dell Precision 2850 laptop.  I've been using Photoshop consistently every day and have had no issues - until today.
My Photoshop froze and I had to hard reboot my laptop.  When I restarted, my Photoshop had "reset" (all my preferences were gone), I had to reintall custom fonts on my system to be recognized (before reopening Photoshop) and about half of my prior PSD files won't open but instead show the error "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document".
I know from prior posts (in years past) that any open PSD files during an Adobe crash can cause corrupted PSD files, but any reason why PSD files edited over the last few days would show that error?
Thanks in advance for any help or direction.  As I mentioned, this was purchased a few weeks ago.  Should I plan to have this happen and lose most of my files each month?

As Chris writes bad RAM can cause all sorts of problems. Ram failures that are not detected can cause corrupt files. System freezes system reboots and all sorts of strange failures. Run some memory stress test several times. Normal RAM failures can be quite intermittent. Remove RAM and re-seat RAM.  Workstation and Servers use ECC memory. ECC RAM detect memory failures and can ever recover  from a single bit failure.  RAM is very reliable however the more rams you install you increases the number of places ram can fail.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

    Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.

    I purchased Adobe photoshop elements II and Adobe premiere elements II. They are both on one disc. My computer crasded and I had to reload Windows. I only have one serial number and it only works with photoshop II. The same serial number will not work for Premiere. I dont have any other serial numbers. What do I do???

    Static_Unit
    I am getting a bit concerned about what is happening in your situation. Yesterday you posted your question in at least two different forums, one of them being here in the Premiere Elements Forum.
    Don't Have Serial Number for Premiere, Only Photoshop?
    Wherever you posted, the reply was to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat. It is the only one who can sort out this matter for you.
    In the thread cited above I offered to help you with the difficulties that you were having visualizing the Adobe Chat in its web page. I was waiting for your follow up on that in the above thread. Instead, I find your same question in a new Adobe Premiere Elements Forum thread this afternoon with no refer the prior threads or prior recommendations given you.
    I will also mention again...when you buy the Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundled in one packaging and with installation files for each on the same installation disc, each program has its own serial number. The Photoshop Elements serial number does not work for Premiere Elements and vice versa. The serial numbers are on labels on a box which houses the installation disc envelope(s). So, if you purchased both programs and found the Photoshop Elements serial number, then the Premiere Elements serial number should be in a label right underneath the label with the serial number for Photoshop Elements. I recall writing this in your yesterday's thread on this matter.
    The moderator will no doubt be along shortly to close or delete this thread. So, just in case, please bookmark your yesterday's thread cited above so that we can continue this communication which is trying to help you.
    Thanks.

  • Can't quit Photoshop and most tools are grayed out too!

    Pretty much everytime I am working on a document in Photoshop, something happens and
    most of the tools get grayed out, including Quit.  I have to force quit to get out of it and reopen to do more changes.
    Any suggestions?

    Still can't figure this out... It's getting embarrasing in front of clients.
    I"m running version 11.0.2 on OSx 10.6.4.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 Serial Number Issue

    I downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 (after checking the system requirements) but the serial numbers Adobe gave me are for that software but for version 13 which will not work on the iMac OS I have (Needs 10.8 and above).  I need to get the correct serial numbers but Adobe chat says it isn't possible and have to use 13. Am I stuck with Version 13?

    I would look for some means of contacting someone relative to the Education Exchange.  I have no familiarity with it myself so I can't direct you anywhere, but maybe they have their own contact links or forum for discussion.
    Do you have some problem with using version 13 or is it just that you acquired the files thru interface you show?  If you have serial numners for 13 and your machine can handle it, go for getting it...

    PE 13 Trial - http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_elements
    The serial numbers will (should) convert the trials to full use.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Activation

    After successfully uninstalling and re-installing my newly purchased adobe photoshop elements 12 and adobe premiere elements as an advise because of the problems that I encountered during my first installation a few weeks ago, now although both programs was successfully install, when I try to open first the adobe photoshop elements 12 instead of lunching it, a Window pop-up menu appears showing "Sign In Required", so I did enter my adobe ID and click the Sign In button but nothing happen. I also tried to open the adobe premiere elements 12 and it did lunch but only the Organizer part. And when I try to click on the Editor button, first that "Sign In Required" window pop-up menu appears to enter the adobe ID and then when I click  Editor button nothing also happen (freeze).

  • Help With Adobe Photoshop Elements Download and Installation

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements yesterday and was sent the download link. I tried to download the product but one of the 2 files I need would not download and after a few attempts it blocked my access saying there were too many download attempts. Please help.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.
