What's the possibility of power surge damage when power tripped at fusebox?
I was plugging in other appliances in a different room which caused a trip and a loss of power to the whole house, my PC was running in the office at the time. After flicking the switch in the box I booted the PC, hoping it would be fine and instead of booting straight in as normal it went to a Finishing windows setup screen as you see when finishing a new W installation.
Once I got into Windows after clicking through next a few times everything was as it should be, I've seen nothing missing and have run sfc, chkdsk and so on. However I have since been noticing jagged low-res rendering of shadows and sometimes fauilty pixellated outlines around shapes in some games including Modern Warfare that I'm convinced weren't there before. I have ran DDU in s mode and reinstalled my graphics drivers, with no success.
It's possible that general performance has degraded but aside from the visual artifacts differences are marginal.
Obviously there's the chance that these problems were there before and I'm just noticing them more with hypervigilance but I don't think this is the case so just hoping someone can fill me in on the likelihood of my hypothesis, or have any more concrete ways of testing it out.
Thanks
