unfortunately after a blue screen of death one of my Maya file (MA) corrupted. No error report shows and file loading frozen at 93%. I am using Maya 2016. I tried on Maya 2014 it opens with some meshes missing and everything are not in the right position. I don't know what I need to do with this wired situation and I do need help from you guys. Thank you very much. 
If you have any suggestions please leave your solutions here or contact me directly

    Maya files are essentially fancy text files. Open up the maya file using something like notepad ++. 
    Take a look and see if anything looks funny. In the past when Maya has had issues opening it, It gives me an error about which line is causing issues and I've been able to go in to clean it up... downside is, it sounds like it isn't giving you any errors  :/ Still, open it up and take a look. It is possible some of it might have been reduced to garbage if it was mid save when you blue screened. You can edit out the bad parts and see what opens, but it may be a lost cause. 

    I had something similar happen, that's when I learned that increment and save was my best friend.

    Thank you Mars, I was actually watching some tutorials on youtube I didn't do anything after the last safe save point. Is there any way to recover this?
