Hello,
exactly like in topic. I've lost a lot of bitcoins and looking for help. I was trying to solve it in past, couldn't.. Right now I want to come back to topic and make it happen somehow. Do anyone know how to solve this problem? Reward is 100BTC and this thread is completely serious.

PC is completely frozen. Nobody touch it and we have made image of all hard drive so it's safe. Our idea is to look for private keys through hex and we checked all PC length and breadth. There were found some bitcoins, but not that... I think private key to this wallet could be partially broken, but I'm not sure..
I think this is why you always hard copy print your private-keys, and put them in a safe place, like a fire-proof vault.
Disks go down, backups fail, online storage can be hacked, computer get stolen, exchanges steal or go bankrupt taking your keys, hard-disk write caches clobber files, ... the only safe place for magic-numbers is a hard-printout that will not fade over time.
If you didn't print it and store it in a safe place, then you never had it.
