[SOLVED] No signal detected after thunderstorm.

[reatz]

Hello,
Today there was a lightning strike near my house. My computer was on and the monitors shut off right after the cracking noise. The computer remained running. I unplugged everything and after 20min plugged back in. Computer works but both monitors are saying "No signal detected". I searched online and it seems something could be fried. Im thinking its gpu but im not sure cause the gpu fans still work. What can be the problem?

I think you answered your own question something got fried and now you’re going to need to test parts until you find out what it is

Sound like your video card got zapped. The fans is separate and work on their own. I'm curious why your PSU didn't shut down and protected your system.

Okay is it safe to replace the gpu?

Is it now safe to replace the GPU?

What's your PSU? Your video card may not be the only reason you have no video. What zapped your card also zapped the board and probably the CPU and the memory too.

You can try another card and find out.
