Hey guys! There was a brief power outage that took out all the power in my house for a few seconds this morning. My computer was on during this time and immediately after the outage ended, these colored vertical lines appeared on my monitor (Yamakasi catleap q270). I restarted the computer and disconnected the power cords with no success; the lines remain. What should I do? I'm freaking out because I have a GTX 980 and Catleap q270 that could both be possibly fried :( .
