Earlier today my surge protector spit out sparks and blew the fuse in my room.
My PC wouldn't come back on immediately. The yellow light on the motherboard remained on, instead of cycling to green.
I let it set for awhile and plugged it directly into the wall. Seemed fine for about 4-5 hours, then it just shut off on it's own, instantly, as if it were unplugged or something. After that, when I tried to turn it back on, it remained on the yellow light again without cycling.
I went to the kitchen, got a drink, tried it again and it started correctly.
The 4-5 hours I was on it after the original surge-sparking I was playing a game consistently. When it turned off, I was actually using the least amount of resources I had since it had come back on.
