Hi all,
We just had thunder + lightning, I was just shutting down the computer when there was a small pop noise. The computer didn't seem to shut down instantly, but it did go off after a few seconds.
I left it an hour until after the lightning had passed, when I tried to turn it back on the fans went full blast for 10-15 seconds and then it shut down. I tried once more to turn it on but now it doesn't turn on at all.
The mobo SB_PWR light is on/green but apart from that it seems unresponsive. It was plugged into a surge protector and has a Corsair TX 650W PSU... this is the second Corsair TX 650W PSU I've had, the other died about 6 months ago (but when that one died the pop was a lot louder, it smelt and everything shut off instantly).
Does anyone have any idea what I can try / what part(s) are likely to be dead?
Thanks in advance for any help!
