Hi,
I Had a severe thunder storm go through my area yesterday and when I got home my server (1.2 PIII) and my main rig in my sig. got fried. Both were on at the time and were not totally off when I got home. The PIII had a burnt smell from the power supply and if I remove power and reinstall it when I power it on it start to go then stops and power light just flashs. The PIV power supply runs and justs some random beeps (none like described in the manual for the mother board). There is no video at all on either machine. I did pick up a antec power supply checker and both power supplys checked good and also bought a new power supply and no change. Is there some checks I can make to verify the mother boards are fried?. I also lost my cable modem,wireless router,TV and one wireless phone. Any help will greatly be appreciated. Steve
