Maya keeps destroying my files? -Nan(ind)? Missing objects/Textures. Please help

Hello!


So I've been working in maya and I've never come across this issue before. 
Maya randomly crashed, then when i re-opened my file, everything was completely gone. Nothing in outliner/workspace. I googled how to recover temp files, but it didn't seem to work. I thought the file was just corrupted so i started over. I made multiple saves again. but this time, when i opened my most recent save file, instead of everything being gone, just most of my work was gone, and the rest of the items untextured.

(This was the same with all my other saves too) 
My files were not super big as i was working in low poly. My one file still says it's 3kb, despite when i open it, there's nothing.

I decided to google more, and i found out i had an issue with -nan(ind) in my script editor. 
I found this: https://polycount.com/discussion/194695/help-maya-ate-my-project
Where they told me to replace the -nan(ind) with 0,0.
I tried to do it, and i thought i had but then i opened up my file, and things were still gone, and in the script editor it says: syntax error, etc.  https://gyazo.com/9a665605e7ff27df338e0f40ceba3774 
I was working on another project today, and the same thing happened to my project, despite being in a completely different project. I replaced the -nan(ind) with 0,0 and that time it worked (only for 1 scene save, i tried to recover other saves and nothing happened), so when i had tried it with my other files, I was confused when it didn't work. 

I googled that, and found: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-forum/maya-crashed-objects-missing/td-p/8255166
which basically says to correct the nan values, which I thought I did but i'm not so sure if that's the problem anymore. 

I was wondering if there's something i am doing wrong, missing, If i can/can't recover my files? I'm wondering why this is happening to my files and if there's something i can do to prevent it? 
I'm very nervous for starting over again, so if there's any light you can shed on my issue, i would appreciate it!

Thank you
