Power in my neighborhood has been cutting off and on intermittently for the past week, with no answer for it that I have seen. Missing alarms and waking up to chirping smoke detectors was pretty annoying but generally harmless. Now however, my desktop PC (plugged into a surge protector) is refusing to turn on. It was functioning completely fine last night, until the power cut out and took the modem with it. After waking up today I discovered that it is completely unresponsive. No lights, nothing. The last time I remember it working normally was when I was trying to establish an internet connection after the power went out. Then it cut a second time and I gave up and went to bed, with the power returning around 5-6 AM. I fear the reset is what may have done it. I am really not trying to be a 'Karen' but if my computer's PSU or other components are fried because of these random surges I will be absolutely livid.
