I have just returned from a two week vacation and my home PC is completely
dead. Even though it is plugged into a surge protector, I unplugged it and my
router before I left town, although I did leave the ethernet cable in.
Everything else in the house seems to be working fine, with the exception of a
CO2 dector, which perhaps coincidently now shows ERR on the display. Still,
that seems like only a concidence, as the only connection between the PC and
the outside world was the ethernet cord. However, I do know there was at
least one severe thunderstorm warning for the area while I was gone.
I know enough to be able to install new components in the box, but have no
idea where to start trouble shooting when it is totally unresponsive. It is
not a high end PC, but plenty sufficient for my home needs. I confirmed that
the cord was good, but that has been it so far. Any recommendations on what I
should do next?
