and I'm left with a GA-X58A-UD3R that was hit too and it lost the onboard sound and lan
so 2 new cards and its working, So hats off to Gigabyte for making some thing that lightning can't kill

and going to take me months to get the money to buy a new computer so all I can say dear reader is GET GOOD INSURANCE and read the small print and if you see lightning UNPLUG all your stuff not just turn it off
so it would be very nice if you pick me if not, I can always send the wife out to sort the insurance company out see pic think she will get me some money out of them
