Ok well it showed up. But in our recent 140 minute block I mined for the first 120 minutes before my PC crashed, during which I submitted about 1300 shares. My reward per block is normally 0.015 BTC but this blockI was only rewarded 0.0012 (10x less)?? Why isn't my work being counted?

Because of the score based system.  Each share is worth more than the previous one, on an exponential curve.

That's ridiculous, I legitimately submitted shares in 120/140 minutes because of a BSOD and I get 10 times less?

I may as well just not have mined for 2 hours at all...all of the money that I worked for is getting paid to everyone else who didn't legitimately work for it...
