I leave my tower on and turn off my monitor. Last night, I went out and there were storms. Didn't check and went to bed and forgot about it being on.
This morning, went to turn on monitor and it was locked up. Red and yellow lights on panel were solid. I tried to do a hard reboot (constantly pushing power button) but it wouldn't power down. Had to flip the switch in back. Switched back on, pushed power button, got the lights on, and fans whirred. Monitor made connection, but then went off since no data. No mobo beeps or HD clicks though. Couldn't power down AGAIN, so switched off and looked inside case.
Power supply, case and cpu fans all turn. Yellow light on board comes on. Reset the CMOS jumper, but no change. The board is getting SOME type of power since all the fans are running, but it doesn't seem to be activating anything. Does that mean I've got a bad board, power supply or something else? Everything was plugged into a surge protector, so I'm not really sure what happened.
