Last night, I was on my four-year-old custom-built PC and also charging my phone, which I'd plugged into the same surge protector as my computer (no other equipment is plugged into that one). When I noticed that the phone finished charging, I unplugged it from the surge protector—and the PC promptly lost power. It immediately regained power and rebooted itself normally (that is, giving me the screen to go to Safe Mode), and it seems to have avoided getting fried.
I have never heard of something like this happening before, so now I'm wondering if this reflects a hardware problem with both my PC (perhaps the PSU?) and the surge protector. I have been having intermittent black-screen problems with this PC ever since moving three weeks ago (detailed in another thread).
Does this sound logical, or am I way off base?
