It can't have been a power surge/spike. Because it's got a power supply that protects it.
It is a external one. It's got 12 plugs adapters so everything i have in my room cant have had a power surge.

as I just said, don't get into that false protection feeling. Almost all PSU's (unless you have a very professional big costly one) do not protect against power surges, that's a myth... ;)

I think that you mean a powerboard/powerstrip/surge protector/surge guard (lots of names for the same thing). If it is a thing that you plus into the wall, and then plus other things into it instead of the wall. A power supply unit is a part of the computer.

I no that. I have a surge guard were you can plug other things in. It also defends you from spikes.

Before this PC (which I built two and a half years ago), I had a Pentium 75 with 32MB memory and God-knows-what crap as a GFX card.
