hi bwasi

sorry to hear about your problem after lightning strike. its true that random lightning strikes can damage electronics.

these are what i can think of:

assuming that the onboard lan of the motherboard is damaged -- disable the onboard lan through the bios settings.


if your Ati hd 4650 video card supports two video ports, i suggest you disable the motherboard video card, and just use the Ati hd 4650.

i hope this helps
