Storm survival in Alabama

My thought was capacitor on the Mobo

Might need to get one of those FLUX ones.

PSU issue????

My thought was capacitor on the Mobo - I think that was the exact symptom I had on the machine I shipped off to F$

Could be one or more bad caps. They do not fare well with power spikes. Spikes with tons of voltage ripple and nasty harmonics tend to kill caps. Though most components wouldn't fair any better.

Simple test. Swap out the PSU. If you still get BSOD then its not the PSU. Then test with a different HDD, then RAM, etc... You get the idea.

Time to get out the chain saw and cut yourself a parameter!

Looks like you won't have any shortage of firewood. Don't hurt yourself. Looks like a lot of work ahead.

Holy! Glad no one was injured. Sucks that the vehicles took a beating (moto in the back yard ) Looks like you have a long road ahead to get back to normal.

Could you do me a huge favor?

TELL US THE NAMES OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU HAVE SEEN HELPING IN THE AREA!

I would like to donate to the cause but only want to help those who help you.

Here in Lake Charles, Louisiana after Hurricane Rita, we were so glad to get help from so many unknown aid groups.
