Hello there.
So there were some very sudden lightning strikes near my house and one of them knocked my power out for an instant - but enough that my computer and monitor went dark. Luckily both the monitor and stereo survived.. the computer not so much.
Here is what happens: When I plug in the power and turn on the PSU, the lights on the motherboard and graphics card light up - but when I try to turn on the computer, the PSU just gives off two clicks and that's it. What's STRANGE is that the cabinet and gpu fans actually spin up for a short instant when I try to turn on. Weird! It just gives the same clicks no matter what I try. The "self test" light doesn't glow either. It's a Corsair AX860i by the way.
Oh and I do use surge protectors from APC by the way.. guess it didn't matter much in this case!
I am very dependant on my computer and will have to do whatever I can do get it back up in the morning, but do you think it's the PSU or could it be something else?
