Well, Apevia isnt a great manufacturer for power supplies. Though the power supply should have a mechanism to protect the components from surges and whatnot.

^^ I believe Deemo means DON'T want to cheap out on :p  Personally I would just keep it unplugged, you have to decide if it's worth the risk, and it sounds like it isn't to me.

Seconding this. Most PSUs have good over/under protection for current and voltage, essentially built in surge protectors. However, as has been mentioned yours is kinda crummy.

They make power strips with over voltage protection on them and they pretty much are priced by how much protection you will receive and some even offer a guarantee to replace any parts damaged by overvoltage. Power supply is really the heart of your pc everything is connected to it and it could destroy the rest of the computer by itself if it overheats or develops a short.
