Hi everyone,
Three days ago I turned off my desktop computer for the (not-stormy) night, and watched it shut down normally. When tried to turn it on the next day it would not turn on. I discovered the PSU (OCZ700MXSP) had for some reason gone bad, so I replaced it (with an OCZ600MXSP), which works fine, but I am still having issues. I tried to do some troubleshooting while waiting for the new PSU to arrive: I put my hard drive (WD Caviar Black 640, with Windows 7) in a different, very old computer, but I could not boot from it nor was it at all recognized when booting with the old computer's hard drive (with Windows Vista). Yikes
After I got the new PSU I tried using my hard drive in my computer but again it was completely unrecognized. I tried using the old computer's hard drive in my computer, and though it would start up (much more slowly than usual) and every other component seems to be functional (after I reset the CMOS), Windows does not detect any network connection. I've ruled out the network cable or modem being the issue.
I've.. reluctantly accepted the fact that I have lost all my data, but it seems strange that my hard drive, my PSU and the network adapter on my MB would all have been fried in one uneventful night -- or has my motherboard (A780GXH/128M) gone selectively bad? I have never had major issues with any part of my computer. All these different issues confuse me as to what the real problem/cause could be, and my searches for answers have not proven fruitful, hence this post.
I hope I have explained my problem clearly. I'd appreciate any help
Have a beautiful day.
