Computer won't turn on after power outage

Power must have gone out briefly or a power surge. Clock on the microwave shows all 0000.
So my PC tends to shut off when that happens.
My router appears on.
So when I hit the power button on the PC tower the blue light comes on but PC does not boot up. Any tips

I just unplugged the computer power source from electrical socket . Waited a minute and then plugged it back in and computer booted up

Hi Calls,

 

I apologise, I think I saw this question, but was in the process of exiting out - - I was just exhausted.  Couldn't even look at the computer screen anymore.  Anyhow, I have definitely dealt with your situation, when the system gets surged (for whatever reason) I always have to unplug the main power cord from the back of the tower, re-plug it back in, then boot the system.  I believe it's a safety.  I have also seen the case where if interference is run on my speakers, I have to unplug the audio connections from the back of the tower and re-plug them back in to get sound again.  I'm not sure if you have ever experienced that situation, however, figured I would throw it in for good measure.  The Dell representative I spoke to some time back explained that that method can be used to clear interference from the lines.
