I have a compaq persario i got last year. well lightning hit by my house the other day and made the screen freez up so i shut it off and unplugged everything. After the storm was over i pulugged it back in turned it on and i was getting no ouput signal to the monitor. i checked the monitor with other pc's so i know its not the prob. i also tried putting a graphics card in the pci-e slot and still nothing. all the fans are coming on and stuff i took the ram out and it did a bunch of beeping. can anyone tell what they think the prob may bee.i'm thinkin it might b the motherboard but any suggestions or troublshooting ideas to find out the prob would b apreciated

If you are hearing the beeps, then your motherboard is fine, I would try the graphics card in another PC.
