Default overvoltage

Hello,
I've blown a few power supplies on my home PC. The PC is connecting to a
working surge protector. It was suggested to me that I could have an
over-voltage problem. I thought a surge protector handled that. How would
I know if I have an over-voltage problem? does this make any sense?
Thanks.



Hi,
Is your PC PSU proper size? I use 500W one on my PC. My server has
750W one. Wonder if it is undersized El Cheapo? If you have voltage
problem, other appliances will have trouble too.
