Hi there,

Sorry that your computer crashed and the images you were working on in Lightroom have gone missing. 

Which version of Lightroom are you using and what is your computer's OS?

Would you mind unchecking the option "Use Graphics Processor" under the Preferences> Performance menu and then restart the app? 

Also, please log on to https://lightroom.adobe.com/  and check if your images got synced to the cloud and you can locate your images on Lightroom Web.

To troubleshoot the issue related to Bridge, please review the steps mentioned here: https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/troubleshoot-errors-freezes-bridge.html 

Thanks,
