There are a number of things you can do at home before you consider the tech shop.
Your system sounds like it is loosing/corrupting data over time.
This can be caused by a faulty ram module, viruses or a hard drive that is going to fail.
1. You can test the memory by running memtest 86+.
2. Test the hard drive with diagnostic software.
Could you list the system components?
