When your PC has software problems, it’s

possible that a voltage spike, power outage, or

brownout has occurred. Symptoms of voltage

spikes include a flickering video display,

unexpected PC startups, and the PC not

responding to your commands. A voltage spike

can occasionally corrupt or destroy files, so it is

a good idea to consistently make backup copies

of your data files. Prevent voltage spikes by

installing a surge suppressor made for use with

PCs between the power outlet and the PC

power cord.
