What makes you suspect it is power issue? To follow
@CountMike's question, are you seeing issues with other electrical items in your room or other parts of your abode? If you are getting random blue screens and restarts, it could be caused by many different issues from software to hardware to dirty power coming from your electrical outlet.
A good place to start would be the
Windows Event Viewer, click Start button and type in Event Viewer, you should see the icon appear. The event viewer can cause
"Information Overload", due to the sheer amount of logging that Windows does. As you look through the
Administrative events, search for events that contain "
STOP Error". these may offer clues to the cause of the Blue Screens.
If you suspect dirty power from your electrical outlets, this
cheap device can inform you of defective wiring at your outlet. I have seen many strange issues caused by bad wiring in outlets and entire homes.
In my area, we do have dirty power and frequent power outages. Can't do much about the electric and their crappy service. This
UPS also called battery backup unit, gives me about 45 minutes of computer time after the power goes, also protects the equipment from spikes and surges.
