My power goes out often and every time it does,my PC is running.
However,none of the parts are damaged and are still working fine.
You just may want to plug all of the cables out when the power goes out.If you have your cables plugged in and the power suddenly returns,it can damage the PSU and other electonics around the house.
Hope this helps.

The side we put on the eletric hole it was there I didn't took it off, the only side I took off was the side which is connected to the PSU

If you plug the PSU (and ONLY the PSU, take it out of the system) into a different wall socket, preferably in a different room or on a different floor, can you turn it on?
Note: You may blow a fuse again or worse by trying this, it's entirely on your own risk. If you don't want to take the chance, take the PSU to a computer repair shop and let them test it.

Oh,I thought you Crossfired the 4870.
Try calling someone tomorrow.Tell them what's your problem and they may be able to figure it out.
It's either the PSU or the power box.
Also,have you tried plugging in the PC somewhere else in the house? The hole where you have your cable plugged in may have some issues.

I doubt it's the PSU. 750 watts should be plenty. Also, if the PSU is the problem the power wouldn't go out when you're vacuuming or turning the TV on.
Your priority here should be getting that power box fixed.
If the problem persists after that (which I don't find particularly likely) then the PSU (or the wall socket) might be the problem.

Ok, so if you are sharing a panel between two houses, it sounds like the panel is not big enough for the job.
Typically, if lights dim when air conditioning or a vacuum kicks on, this is a result of the in-rush current drawing more amperage than the system was designed for during normal use.
Fixes:
* Have an electrician install a higher amperage panel from the street (this can be an expensive task, because in some cases a larger gauge wire will be neccessary)
* Don't use multiple appliances at the same time that draw high current. The hot water heater is the largest appliance in your house (typically). You should think about turning off the larger appliances such as hot water heater, etc when you are running your computer. Leave the vacuum cleaner off.
This is a hard situation to control if you are sharing a panel with a neighbor. You might also consider getting a battery backup to prevent surges to your computer, or at the very least a surge protector if you don't already have one.
