Black screen crash; DSL modem crash
Hello,
This morning (11.26.14, 8:50ish) I had nothing running more than usual (chrome, onenote, word) on my desktop. I was in my other room turning on my laptop but it would not find my wireless network. I went to my desktop and found that the monitor turned itself off (that's normal) but moving the mouse and pressing the spacebar would not wake the monitor up. The desktop power light was on and the monitor light was on. I then looked at the DSL modem and saw the power light was red. So I unplug it and waited 20 seconds; plugged it back in and the desktop rebooted.
Could a power fault on the modem affect the desktop like that?
I checked the event log viewer and the closest I can find is this:
Source: Service Control Manager:
