Will a thunderstorm have any adverse effects on my computer?

There must be damage, because when thunder strikes, lightning produces high-voltage electricity, which will be transmitted to the user's electrical appliances with the inverted wires, and if the electrical appliances are in use, the high-voltage electricity generated by the lightning will break down the electrical equipment. There are 2 kinds of mines that cause harm: 1 ordinary mine 2 landing mine Ordinary mine does not care, it only strikes in the sky There are 2 kinds of harm to the computer 1 Directly burn with a large current through the conductor, this possibility is very small, can be ignored, one in a million 2 Lightning produces powerful electromagnetic waves, causing damage to the computer, this possibility is also very small, but it cannot be ignored; If you love computers, it's a good idea to turn them off.

When thunder, if the lightning hits the wire line or ** line used in your home, the voltage will instantly rise to n million volts. If your appliances are designed to work at this voltage, it's fine, if it's 220v, it will definitely burn out. Therefore, when thunder, the correct way is to unplug the power plugs of all electrical appliances.

If you don't unplug it, it will burn off even if you turn off the power Lightning is an unknown voltage and current, and when lightning strikes all electrical appliances, the harm is generally great. If you're lucky, you'll only burst the fuse, and if you're unlucky, it's all broken and it's hard to repair. Generally, lightning entering from the power supply is common and relatively harmless, because the power supply basically has a circuit design such as high-voltage protection.

However, lightning entering from cable TV and ** lines may cause great harm, such as network card burning or even motherboard burning, and *** machine bursting. The main ways for lightning to enter are: power lines, ** lines, cable TV lines, water pipes, damp walls, etc.

In addition, radio waves attract lightning.

In general, there will be no accidents.

Unless lightning strikes a local power line or transformer, causing the voltage of the mains to rise instantaneously, this can cause damage to all electrical appliances connected to the mains, such as televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, microwave ovens, and of course, computers.

The probability of such an accident is very small and can be understood as an accident that will not happen.

It's best not to go online when thundering, especially when thundering. There were once 2 computers in my community that were burned by the blast, and they were both seriously damaged and could not be repaired. There are also lightning rods in the community, and it stands to reason that there will be lightning rods, but practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and it still happens.

Therefore, in order not to break the bank, it is recommended not to go online during the bombing period. Hope it helps.

Lightning rods are all puffy clouds. Don't limit yourself to the lightning rod, it's useless if the thunder comes.

It's okay if the computer has a lightning protection function, but when the thunder is big enough, it will automatically disconnect from the network.

No. Because computers are susceptible to lightning strikes.

It is best not to use the computer during a thunderstorm.

Precautions for using a computer on a thunderstorm:

First, make sure that the computer has a good ground lead. This allows the current generated by the lightning to be directed down the ground along the grounding lead, minimizing damage. At present, most computers use three-way plugs, and we need to check whether the corresponding socket is well grounded.

When grinding with Wei, a small number of laptops use two-way plugs, so we should pay more attention to lightning protection.

Secondly, try not to surf the Internet during thunderstorms. For users who use dial-up or ADSL to access the Internet, they should try not to use modems or ADSL devices at this time, and should also unplug the ** cable they are connected to. For the current popular wireless LAN or CDMA, GPRS and other wireless Internet access methods, thunderstorms should also be avoided as much as possible, and the wireless network card should be turned off or CDMA and GPRS network cards should be pulled out.

Lightning can easily cause instantaneous strong currents to be generated on the ** line. If such a strong current enters an inferior cat, it is easy to burn the network card. At the same time, if the network card is integrated on the motherboard, and there is no relevant anti-strong current circuit behind the network card, then it is easy to make the motherboard burn!

In addition, if lightning strikes on the wire, a momentary high voltage will be generated, so that there is no voltage drop on the wire, so that the current will stop instantaneously. If this stop lasts a little longer, it will cause the computer to restart. This can damage the power supply or damage the hardware.

If you insist on using a computer during a thunderstorm, keep the following in mind:

1. The terminal block used must have lightning protection function! It is the kind of terminal block where the ** wire is connected to the terminal block first, and then enters the cat.

2. Use UPS uninterruptible power supply, because the lightning protection terminal can only block the instantaneous strong current from entering the computer system, and cannot prevent the short-term current stagnation.

3. If the above conditions are not met, then do not use the computer when thundering, and disconnect the ** cable & network cable & power cable connected to the computer!

Hopefully the upstairs won't be misleading anymore. Moreover, someone's computer has been damaged, and they think that it has nothing to do with the computer for thunder, and they have been using it again.

Be careful! I've heard of such things.

It was a thunderstorm.

I play with the computer. Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck the glass.

Scared the hell out of me. Scared the hell out of me.

Voltage fluctuations in summer and daily thunder and lightning have a considerable impact on computers. Because at this time, instantaneous power surges and voltage spikes may occur at any time will directly test your power supply and the host, if your power supply has a protection function, the loss is small, otherwise, you just wait to be depressed. You might say:

I've never had a problem with this. However, once something goes wrong, it will be too late for you to regret it, because natural damage (force majeure damage) is not covered by the warranty. Just as I always recommend everyone to buy a good power supply, a good outlet with surge protection is also indispensable.

Precautions for computer use.

Turn on and off the computer correctly to turn on the power of the monitor first and then turn on the power of the host, and turn it off is the opposite; Never force it to shut down.

Place the computer with care, away from heat, humidity, dust, and direct sunlight.

Pay attention to lightning protection in summerDon't use the computer when it is thundering and raining, and it is best to unplug the power cord.

Avoid the influence of magnetic fields on the computer, do not place too close to the TV, speakers, power amplifiers and ** machines, at least about two meters apart.

To prevent anti-skewering, the computer is equipped with a special anti-static power strip.

Avoid humid environments and run computers that have not been used for a long time during the rainy season; When the weather is dry, increase the air humidity in the room appropriately.
