Lightning strike on the computer

What to do in lightning? Usually only the power supply is damaged.

Test the functions of your computer with a new power supply. If this is not the case, go through the following checklist.

  • Checking the CPU fan
    • If the CPU fan does not function, test new CPU fans. Because if a CPU fan does not work, this can lead to overheating of the CPU
    • Checking the CPU Temperaturator
    • Testing the new CPU
  • RAM check if the computer boots up with only one RAM memory latch
    • if the computer only boots with a RAM bar the defective exchanges
  • Staking out all CD – ROM, DVD – ROM and Blue Ray drives
  • Staking out all hard drives
  • Staking out all USB cables
  • If possible, attach mouse & keyboard via the PS/2 interface

If all these points do not work, we can only give the following tip:

The computer is destroyed by a lightning strike in the house. Probably the one who has overvoltage damage insured in his household contents insurance.
