I had my computer running tonight.

Suddenly it would produce strange Beeps and on my hardware monitoring I saw, that the voltages once were totally crazy! (wish i made a picture)

anyway, HardwareMonitor shows me the maximum values that were recorded since the program started. The record values.

my CPU Vcore is usually 1.28 -> i saw the MAX value, once being 4volts! This is insane. My ddr Ram was 3,8 Voltage maximum. My +5V was once at 0,5 and so was my +12V.

My friend had his PC beeping and BSOD'ing (having a bluescreen) and the strangest thing that happened to him was that he had two magnets that suddenly would get weaker!


Let's come clean here.

I guess Earth's electromagnetic field had a major fluctuation about 10 hours ago.
We can also expect electric power shortages but most probably outtages.

Well I can't say much since we have such power problems almost daily in Turkey. But I've been expecting such things. Don't get me wrong but I'm pretty glad that I wasn't thinking wrong :D sorry about your computers. A UPS wouldn't be a bad idea (with a regulator).

Hi xpleet,

I think there's been a subatomic shift
