PCteck got my company name right - I'll PM with contact details if you wish to contact me.

Could be a PSU - got another in the workshop at the moment doing (or not doing as the case may be) the same.

807371 2009-09-08 03:11:00 There was a mean lightning storm last week, still getting work from that. Best one so far, 2 high spec PCs, all with dead motherboards and PSUs. Some faulty RAM. All line filters, routers, surge protectors, even a UPS blew up. Very impressive. Guess there must have been a surge through the phone lines and power lines. There was even burn marks around the ethernet ports on the router and motherboards. :horrified wratterus (105)
807372 2009-09-09 02:36:00 Well all fixed - Was a blown PSU- Luckily it never took out the motherborad as well.

Got two others in the workshop which did take out the PSU & Board.

From what I was told it may have been a power surge as per the post by wratterus.

807374 2009-09-09 03:58:00 The original problem was solved - But since discovered there are other software problems that require LARGE downloads which currently cant be done.

It also appears that the OS was damaged due to corruption by the sudden shutdowns & Norton Internet Security - which while it can be fixed - it would'nt be on site - Hopefully chkdsk will fix it, but the Updates do need to come through - its Vista Pre SP1.
