My step-dad's computer died after a power outage we had a few days ago. It is this computer here:

It was off and connected to this powerbar when the power went off. When he tried to turn it on the next day, no response.
The monitor and printer, which are hooked up to the same powerbar, are working, so the power bar is alright.
I figured the computer, being 4 years old, finally just died. But he thinks it's the power source. Is it possible that the power source can get messed up even if it's hooked up to a surge protecting power bar?
Thanks,
Bri
