Achievements Gone...

I have an issue when playing ME3, my PC locks and I have to use the power button to reboot - I suspect it is a video card issue.  That can be annoying but tolerable.  It happens a 3 or 4 times a week.  When I go back into ME3, I am asked what save to use... the local one or the online one.  I choose the local because it is the most current.

Anyway, it seems it happened at the "right" time twice.  When I went back into ME3 and chose to load from my PC, all achievements are gone.  That in and of itself isn't really a big deal to me.  What is kinda annoying is if I am playing a SP game, all the bonus powers you can assign to Shepard are gone.  So my question... what is the name of the file on my PC that records the achievements I've unlocked?  I prefer not to load from an older online save when the PC freezes.  The reason for that is if I've gone through several online games, those updates and any store purchases aren't lost.

    It happen to me as well until i finish the game, then the achievements togheter whit the bonus appear. I suggest for you import your m3 character in a new game and you have the achievements( it work on me).

    If you didn't finish the game i doubt you will have them

    I gave that a shot... unfortunately, it didn't work (and I did finish the game).

    I managed to get a few of the bonus powers back.  I usually keep only 1 or 2 saves on any play through, but my first play through on ME 3 I had about 15 or so saves throughout the game.  I managed to go back to different points in the game, initiate the conversation that unlocks the power, and then I had them back.

    Now I keep backing up a file called "Local Profile" (I think that's what it is called) in the ME3 / Saved Games folder.  If my game "blows up" on me again, I'll see if that file helps keep my history intact.
