poor puter.....

[bigsmellyfart]

In May this year Lightning struck my
IMax2000 and shredded it it also took out
the lan chip on 2 of my computers and 2
lan switches...i.e. my fathers puter and my
puter...so i bought 2 pcix1 lan cards and installed
them ,yea...i'm back on the internet...
Sunday night after downloading a large file
i cme to my puter room and the screen was black
and the puter running i thought it went to sleep
butthat was not it so i tried to turn it off and it
would not shut off. so i turned off the surge protectot.
monday the pyter would not turn on. I riped a power
supply from a working puter and subbed it in and still
would not turn on tried a new power cord still nothing.
put the power supply back and put the cpu in that
puter and it worked....so my mobo is shot and no longer
in production and is unavailiable anywhere unless you have
$984.00 or so i found some lesser mobo's that wpuld work

moral to this is " buy an xtra mobo like yours before
they are no longer made and get 2 or more just in case
...its a shame to waste an 8 core processor....
