A sudden change of electricity can damage a video capture card?

Hi,
some days ago a sudden change of electricity has ruined my HD and I
has had to purchase a new HD.
When I add the programs for the editing video, I notice the sofware
for editing doesn't work correctly anymore.
That sudden change of electricity could also have ruined my card of
capture video?
Yet when I go on "Device Driver" it is everything ok.
The drivers are ok. It seems impossible a damage because it works with
12 volts, at least I believe. Will the motherboard be ruined?
Some technicians analyzed my PC but nobody understands anything.
Will I have to replace the PC or my card of capture video?
thanks Fogar

Yes, it's possible.

If the operating system boots up, the motherboard is probably okay.

It's hard to say without more information.

Anyone dealing with PC hardware needs to have a good hardware diagnostic
program. I purchased the Troubleshooter from ForeFront in Clearwater,
Florida, www.techcourses.com.

A UPS would be a wise investment, costing less than a new hard drive.

I bet if you ask this question in a more appropriate NG, you'll get exactly
the answers you need.

 

Why don't you suggest what that "more appropriate" newsgroup might be? I
thought the question was very appropriate to this one.

 

Not even close. a.c.c is *about* computer consulting, not a free consulting
service. You need to find a PC hardware group.

 

Perhaps you didn't notice that he also posted to alt.computer which is the
one where I read it. Get a life.

 

I noticed. a.c.c still isn't the right place to ask, and it's no big deal
to tell him that. Get over it.
