Hello,
There was a major power surge in my neighborhood. Unfortunately the surge protector wasn't enough (got a ups now). The result of me procrastinating was my computer got damaged. I got with my Homeowners insurance but they said in order for me to get reimburse for everything that was damaged. I would need some documentation. So I requested a diagnostic test from a computer company near by. Even though I know what the problems are. The only thing the computer shop tested was the mobo. They sad the mobo was fried and will be replace. So my question is:
What are the chances of the following components (cpu, gpu, ram, psu, and hdd) being stable if the mobo was fried from the power surge? I have some computer experience and I believe the percentage is low. This was my second build that I put together with no issues prior to this incident.
Thanks
