This is obviously not very exciting, but I lost a TV tuner card due to a lightning strike. The phone and power cables going to my computer were protected, but the TV cable going to the card was not. After the strike, my computer wouldn't boot. I replaced the power supply, but that was obviously ineffective. Then, I called a relative of mine who was pretty 1337, and he told me to start pulling the PCI cards one by one. That's how I found out that the tuner card was the culprit.
Are you sleeping yet?
