| 157867 | 2003-07-06 10:30:00 | I would say that something is deffinately fried in the PC as to what I can't decide from what you gave in info. At a guess I would say the MB. | mikebartnz (21) | ||

Lightning strikes don't just hit your gear through the power connections, it also gets in through the phone lines and hits the modems. If you have an internal modem, dive inside and remove it. It could be fried and dragging down the rest of the system with it. | sinndisco (4059) | ||

| 157870 | 2003-07-06 11:35:00 | also find the jumper and reset your bios. | metla (154) | ||
| 157871 | 2003-07-07 02:24:00 | More or clearer info would be useful, as you say the monitor shows "no signal" which normally indicates there's no graphics card capability, yet you can get to other screens. | Greg S (201) | ||
| 157872 | 2003-07-07 02:47:00 | NO SIGNAL., but works in Safe mode. It is probably running at too high a resolution for the refresh rate selected. Set the refresh rate to 60 hz when in Safe mode. If it is Windows NT, you may need to do into the registry to change this. |
