I suppose this is either a coincidence (currupt file, etc in Windows) or it actually happened from the static.
Went to unplug the computer the other night (before the storm), and everything was working fine.
The morning after, I touched the computer case and I got a zap (from the house being so dry). I plugged the computer in and it would boot to a certain point after the XP log in screen and then ......Black screen.
Everything's fine now as I had to do a re-install but I want to know if this is possible......
If a computer's totally unplugged and you walk across carpet and touch the outside case. Is it possible it can screw up the HDD?
