I was imagining lightning struck the cpu specifically, leaving the rest intact? Quite the precision.

Oh no, the last time this happened there were definitely other casualties. The motherboard was left in a particular state of undeath, where it wouldn't quite power on. But if you jumped the ATX header it'd sort of attempt to boot and give some beeps.

After that I added a bunch of grounding to my house and I haven't had that much damage in one lightning strike before.
