Hey guys,
Recently using computer during a lightning storm. Right after a lightning strike my internet connection went down them my monitor went black but computer was still running. I shut down the computer and next day when i went to use it, the computer turned on but network adapter not installed then after a few minutes the monitor goes black but computer still on. If i restart right away monitor does not come back on, if i wait about 5 minutes the computer starts normal, still no internet, but about 5 minutes later monitor goes black again. All my fans are running, the GPU and CPU temps are normal, If i use HDMI, VGA, or DVi same thing happens. Pulled all my memory put in one stick that i know works. Did the lightning strike mess up my motherboard? Network Adapter? No beeping from mother board, when i reinstall driver for network adapter the adapter still not found. The monitor is working fine, checked with another computer, also my router still works.
I built the computer about 2 yeas ago with no issues until today

Any idea where i go from here? I am thinking my mother board is probaly gone.
