Sometimes, during completely random times, my computer turns off by itself and the monitor goes to standby, however the PC's power led is still green! If you push the power button nothing happens, computer stays off with power green light on. The only thing you can do is cut the power manually, by turning off the surge. Next when I turn the surge back on, and press the power button on the computer a red flashing light shows up instead of a green power led. I have never seen a red flashing light before...what does it mean? Anyways..I cut the power again and then boot it up, and it works fine. What is happening?
