Computers that are affected by a power failure

Last night while I was watching TV, the power went out just for a few seconds, then she came back. I don't think anything of it, but, when I went to use my computer the next morning, he was sounding like a war was going on inside. The only thing I forgot to mention, is that I don't always close my computer before going to withdraw during the night, while he was at the time of the failure. Something does not look good and he echoes and I can tell by the power button it seemed that it was not a fixed light, it vibrated. I just hope that it is something that can be fixed. The thing is, I intentionally used these power strips that the electricity company gave to those who wanted to conserve energy, and also I thought it was protected power strips. Now, if someone can tell me if there is a chance that this computer can be repaired and not corrupt, and the ability to fix it myself, maybe? I am at a loss without my computer, and the possibility to buy another is out of the question because I am on disability and I have no savings. Please, if anyone can help me with this one, I'll be very grateful. If there is an organization that provides computers to people in need, it would also be a blessing, or a place or a person who fixes them for a fraction of what the prosecution remains. Thank you, Christina

Before you start worrying too or attempt to make any kind of troubleshooting, you should consider that the most common result of a power failure while a computer is turned on is nothing.

This is particularly the case when the computer has not been used for awhile before the power failure.  It sounds like your case: you were in front of the TV and not to use the computer.  Depending on the configuration of your computer to the top, it's probably in standby or, at most, just sitting and idling.

As a general rule, when a computer is not actually in the Middle using the hard drive, the most that will happen after a power failure is when the computer is next turned on, you will see a message that 'Windows was not properly shut down' and we'll give you a few options.  The option to choose from at the point is to 'start Windows normally.'

After writing all this, please answer the following questions:

  1. When you first went to your computer the next morning, he was turned on or off?
  2. If it was turned off, what happened when you the activated?
  3. If it was on, click the Start button and turn the computer off (Shut down).  Wait for 2 minutes and turn it back on.
    • What is going on?
    • Windows comes up normally?
    • The computer always made strange noises?
      • If so, are the sounds of speakers or mechanical noises from inside the computer?
  4. What is the brand and model of the computer?

If the computer is mechanical noises (I'm not sure what you mean by "sounds like a war was going on inside"), your best course of action is to turn off and take it to a computer repair shop local independent (not a chain of stores).  Too little likely, a fan — or worse, your hard drive - could have been damaged.

Oh, and these power strips - insofar as they work - prevent power surges ' "(surge), no power failures.
