Nah, my mobo is fine. It was my alarm clock, that annoying device from hell which rips me from slumber.

I can now confirm: Power Outtages SS
Some drunk ran into the power pole last night, so what do I have to wake up to in the middle of the night? Darkness, no running water, and a loud generator 20' from my bedroom... bastid...

 APC's don't really help if you have to brush your teeth in the dark and then go into the kitchen and scrape a bowl of leftover Spaghetti into a zip-lock bag...  |
