RE: Computer turn on

Whether or not the power went off, you could have gotten a surge.  I'd
_highly_ recommend purchasing a UPS.  They're pretty cheap and save you
tons down the road.  I have an APC and you wouldn't believe all the
times I've been sitting at the PC and here the alarm go off when the
power lines take some kind of hit.  Most times it's not even enough to
knock the lights off, but it's a brown-out or a sag/surge.  Enough to
destroy computer equipment.  My UPS has more then paid for itself in the
4 yrs I've had it.
