PLEASE NOTE: The issue to this problem is fixed, Just needed to replace PSU. Just want to know why it happened.

I was playing a game on my computer when all of a sudden our power was cut. The power was back after 10 minutes but since I had work soon I didn't bother to turn my computer back on. When I got home later that night I tried to turn it on but there was no response. I thought maybe the power supply was fired and tried an old one I had upgraded from and it turns on fine.

I have surge protectors so I want to know what the heck happened, Kind of scared to have my computer on at all when they can just cut our power again at anytime.
