Hello i recently had a power surge (The power shut off for about 10 seconds and came back on, fuse box didnt not shut off or anything) and left only my computer not working. Yes, everything in my house was un effected by the power surge. I had my computer plugged into a surge protector and my psu also has a surge protection on it...The other computer that was plugged into the SAME surge strip was uneffected (The computer was off at the time, fortunately). Now my computer will turn on, but will not beep or give signal to my monitor.
Whats working -
- Case fans on
- Case USB's working (never got to checking the back panel usb's, but my nvidia 3D vision sensor was blinking red...i just hooked it up to my other computer and apparently when it blinks like that its when it needs a driver but is on? Thankfully it still works!)
- Ram LEDs on the mobo are on, but my fancy ram isnt lighting up (ballistix tracers)
- Cpu fan turns on
- Gpu fan turns on (the gpu that was in that pc is now in this one, and it is fully functional
- All drives work (put them all into this pc, runs fine)
What i have done to try to fix problem -
Tried resetting bios (moving the jumper pin over)
Tried un-plugging the cpu power cables and mobo power cables, then plugged back in
tried switching ram slots (has tripple-channle ddr3, i moved the 3 sticks i had into the 3 other and made no difference)
Detached cpu cooler, the cpu showed no signs of damage.
My motherboard is a Asus P6T SE (intel 1366)
- What i need to know from you guys -
- Why is it not booting?
- Why would only my computer be effected? (I also checked the other computer that was plugged into the router via ethernet, that computer was uneffected...but im not sure if it was on or not.)
- What i can do to prevent this from happening again
Other possible useful info -

- The ethernet lights came on (the part that goes into the computer, the data leds)
- Keyboard and mouse leds never came on
- could charge my phone from case usb's
- Optical drive worked
- HDD sounded like it was working
