Question about recent power outage and PC
Not sure if this was a cure but it worked and not sure why although it came to me to try this.
Came home from work and noticed my power went out while at work. After being home awhile i went to turn on my PC and it did not come on at all no lights nothing.
I checked all breakers in house nothing had tripped. I plugged the PC into another outlet in the house and still no power i proceeded to test the EVGA power supply with the EVGA Detection Tooland i had power to the power supply then.
Something told me to remove the CMOS battery and once put back in power was restored to the PC and everything is fine.
What else can i expect, was this correct and why?
I am not sure the only thing i see from my surge protector is that part of it called a green zone does not work anymore on it's outlets so i switched this feature off, most likely look into a new one if this can be a cause or future issue with it.
