you could've gotten a surge weak enough not to effect the PC, but maybe just the PSU?

I am running everything through a surge protector as my desk is in the middle of the office so i need the extension so i can plug everything in. The idea of the surge protector going bad could be a good explanation. we did have a few power outages here during the winter (campbell river). Will try and recreate the problem this weekend when i take my computer to my brother's place. then i'll swap out the psu and go from there. if that is the case then i guess i gotta buy a beefier surge protector (this one is new but cheap, no fuse for surge protection. Thanks!
