After a really impressive thunderstorm during which my power went off for a second, my custom desktop is having issues. It’s connected via a surge protected power strip, and there’s no evidence of anything burning or melting or smelling bad, so that might be a red herring.
It fails the POST, saying there’s no CPU fan. I opened up the case, spun the CPU fan with my fingers, unplugged it from the motherboard and plugged it back in, turned on the PC with the case open and saw the fan spin. I reconnected the monitor, and Windows started up ok. There was a Windows update, which forced a restart, but now it won’t start, failing the POST saying there’s no CPU fan... what should I do now?
