Hey, there was a power outage last night, and my pc was on. I was plug into a power bar with surge protector but you know how reliable those are.
Problem now is 85% of the time the pc wont boot to windows. It locks up at different places through the boot up process. The other 15% it does make it to windows but locks up within the first minute or so.
My best bet would the the MOBO is fried or partially fried, but I'm not hardware genius yet. So I'm lookin for a 2nd opinion. Its a stock Medion pc. MOBO make unknown, junk 350w stock PSU, old 128 radeon 300x, 250gig sata HD. AMD 64 3200 and 1gig DDR pc3200.
~edit~ this isn't the first power outage either. It made it through a dozen or so before, maybe i was just unlucky this time.
Apreciate any help.
