I had a fully functional new build, then I turned on my A/C and noticed a few minutes later that my monitor was blank. After force reboot, the system won't even post and reboots after a couple seconds of being powered on! I'm very sad I didn't get a surge protector first. I tried striping out everything (including video card, all memory, all PCI devices) and I pulled out the mobo and put it on cardboard.
I have to imagine I fried something, right? ...unless it coincidentally happened the same time (roughly) when I powered the A/C.
How can I tell what I fried? Was it the CPU, mobo, or PSU? I should mention I don't have spare of anything to swap in/out.
