Can't find my image files

Question

I took several deep images last night in Cygnus 7 to 10 minute unguided images on my new RA worm gear, but when I looked for them afterwards I could not locate them. I had them listed as NGC 6888070114A THRU QQQQ and I had too look really hard at the folder and finally found 3 of my deep images listed as an aborted 720, 500 and 600 second image. I'm not sure where my other 10 to 15 images went. I've never had this happen to me before so was there something I did wrong when saving the images? Does it have something to do with the long unguided imaging I did. 

    I use to image just for 60 to 90 seconds unguided. Is the memory in the computer not keeping up with such long exposures of 7 to 10 minutes each?

Can you suggest what may be going on or what I need to do to correct the problem?
