The past week my power company contacted me, telling me that my power is gonna go off regularly the next month or so because they're fixing some stuff around here, and I've noticed something with my new PC. The power goes off usually when I'm still on the computer, so it's unexpected and I can't really shut it down manually/safely. So when the power comes back on, I've noticed that the computer automatically powers on and starts up. I see this being potentially harmful because there's times when my power will flicker on/off every few seconds and the pc keeps trying to power up each time, could probably fry my PSU or something (mind you, it's a pretty cheap PSU right now). Besides that, it's really annoying if I fall asleep and the power comes back on while I'm sleeping, makes me get up and turn it off. Thanks
