I need your expertise /g/, I came home and found my PC won't power on after a lightning storm. It along with my 2 screens were all on a surge protector, and everything else seems fine. I am getting 120v through the wall and from the power strip, but how can I tell if the PSU is fried. What pins should I be probing with my multimeter?
>not your tech support board.
fuck it I'll help anyway. so just to be clear, you don't get any lights or turning fans from the pc at all? also, not to be a dick, but your psu is switched ON, right my boi? (check and check again)
Move it to a different outlet and if you have a spare power cord swap it out. Also try holding the power button for a few seconds to get rid of any built up power.
not to be a dum-dum but did you check the fuse?
i mean i'm in the uk, our plugs have fuses, i don't know if yours do too.

No lights, and have switched to a socket on a sperate breaker. Nothing at all. Should I remove the board battery as well?

The battery wouldn't stop the system from powering on. Hmm sounds like you'll need a new PSU and hope your board is still good.
Maybe unplug the power to HDDs and disk drives, leaving only power to the board, and also try pulling your RAM out one by one.

Do all this after leaving the PC unplugged for 30 mins. Also try removing the CMOS battery, though seems unlikely that would prevent a power on
Buy a psu from micro center and keep the packing nice. if that's not the issue return it within the week
Put it in rice overnight
It's powering on now, but my h100i isn't coming on so I'm afraid to run it for any extended period. It also just crashes when trying to boot into windows from the UEFI
