    Hello. I am just asking. Maybe this is coincidence and i am worrying about nothing. So listen... 2 days ago after turning on kitchen, fuse was tripped and i get power outage. When power back after this i booted pc fine but i saw that Windows 10 desktop refresh changed itself from 144hz to lower value ( i dont remember to which ) . To restore again 144hz , i turned off monitor ,turned again on. And its fine. Why that happened? I tried to reproduce this issue, by turning off computer and booting again but it never repeat.

    And my question is . That was coincidence that after power outage my Windows 10 monitor refresh was changed or not?

    *Thank you. My pc:
    6700K stock
    *16GB DDR4
    *Asus Z170-P
    *Corsair 750 RM
    *Gtx 1080 Ti Founder Edition
    *Monitor Red Eagle IIyama 1080 144hz plugged by display port cable to GFX.
    *I tested games etc etc and no crashes or artifacts.

    It might just be coincidence that it happened but did you check the circuit breaker to see if it wasn't worn out? The computer might've been using power but like you said you turn on the kitchen and it blew the breaker that should tell you something.

    We get new fuse and power is on again. In kitchen only small bulb burned. Thats all. But...


    I tried to reproduce this issue, by turning off computer and booting again but it never repeat.

    After power outage when i booted my pc second time,refresh was reset to other lower value ( i dont know which exactly ). To restore 144hz i turn off monitor and turn on again and 144hz was back.

    And my question is . That was coincidence that after power outage my Windows 10 monitor refresh was changed or not?
