content: Today I Magicked A Thing I have an old friend whose birthday is the same day and year as me. I never considered him too bright, but people he worked with claimed he could "lay hands" on a computer and get it working. Harumph. A few days ago we had lightning. I was watching a live stream video on my rig. Radeon 5700XT which is hashing 50mh/s Etherum as I type this story. So the lightning browns out the entire campus. My rig did not quit, oversized 850watt PSU with only one video card which wasn't exercising meant it had capacitor to get through. I had enough buffered my video didn't even stop, though my monitor flickered off for a second. I monitored network and the campus edge router came online within a few minutes. Literally lightning hit the grid somewhere nearby and we dipped. So that was pretty late, and I didn't note any other anomalies. However the next day I watched some videos, and my monitor kept blacking out and then the [streaming] videos would be resized. It didn't happen often, and I was thinking I saw a machine idle pattern to it, so I mainly disregarded. Today however, I tried to play a game. Every 15-65 seconds the screen would black out. WTF System had been power cycled. The following things had no effect: WTF Things that worked but I don't know what I'm sure it had nothing to do with that last thing. I would like to be able to push on things.
