hey umm bout 2-3 months ago i was online during a storm (stupid idea) and lighting struck and the internet went out and then the computer shut off
when i turned it back on the modem wasnt getting detected and then the computer started to restart by itself and i got a new modem later that week
my dads gf tried to fix my computer but she couldnt get it to stop restarting and she said the lighting might of hit my mother board.
and i was wondering if that is the problem since it stills restarts after 4 fdisks and 4 formats and 5 reinstalls of xp pro also most programs have coruptions when i download them
so can anyone help and tell me if i should by a new mother board now or get the hammer when it comes out since i heard u would need a new mother board to use the hammer
