Your surge protector may have outlets that are "protected" and outlets that are directly connected to the power
Confirm you have connected your computer to the outlet of the Surge protector that offers full protection from Surges. Also, a warning sign that the Surge protector was "off" but still allowing power to the "protected circuits" means that it may be faulty You will need to read your Surge protector manual to find out what it allows when turned off |
