[SOLVED] PC Freezes while gaming after thunderstorm

[nikos1990]

Hello all!

Yesterday a huge thunderstorm took place in my area. At some point a great thunder hit nearby. After this, my router my mouse and keyboard and also the ethernet socket of my pc destroyed. I downloaded hwmonitor but i dont know if things are working as they should. Here are the results from hwmonitor:

You need to test all the components one by one in other computer, use the hwmonitor will not help. From now on you should use the surge protector power strip ( not the regular one) at least to protect your PC. A UPS ( uninterruptible power supply ) is better. Of cause, you are better to shut down the PC during the thunderstorm .

Thank you for your answer. I already use a surge protector power strip. The damage came from the cable of the phone/internet. So it first broke my rooter and the damage passed through the ethernet cable that connects the rooter with my pc.

Ideally you should have a surge protector which also includes pass-through ports for phone-line & ethernet, like this example:
