Power Surge
Greetings
I'm currently restoring a system that was hit with a power surge where the following were fried: PSU Motherboard Hard Drive CDROM CDRW Network (PCI) Audio (PCI) However the following components from the same system survived: CPU RAM (all 3 sticks that were installed) AGP video Modem (PCI) Floppy Speakers Monitor Keyboard/Mouse I just find it curious that components I thought were sensitive to voltage like the CPU and RAM would survive while other components wouldn't. The core on the audio card actually popped (I found the center of the silicon at the bottom of the case). I keep telling people to get a UPS or a good surge protector but no one listens until they have to pay $$$ Anyone else have a horror story to tell? Dave. |
