that shook my entire house. Windows rattling, bed shaking. This was Sunday morning, and of course, I leap out of bed, and run into the puter room to start shutting down, got mine down, when BOOM! another jolt. On that one my second puters monitor went black. I killed the power at the surge protector and went back to bed.
When I got back up, I tried turning it on, and it wouldn't, so I pulled it out, and started testing, pulled the modem out, and it had literally blown chips off of the chip on the modem. 5 little divets on the chip. So I pulled the modem out, hooked it back up and it booted! No sound, No Nic, apparently took out the entire PCI bus, It has an AGP graphics card, and that works, but nothing on the pci bus does. So now I get to go motherboard shopping I guess.
