That's what I tried to do, but I guess in addition to shutting the
computer down & turning off the breaker, I should have pulled the plug
out of the back of the power supply to ensure the computer wouldn't
restart itself when I switched the breaker back on.

After some years of investigating damage attributed to power anomalies
during power restoration, it is my opinion that here in the USA, it is a
good idea to leave the power to the computer (and other electric units)
disconnected/off until power is restored and stabilized.  I use drop out
relays and/or ups systems with computers.

Many (most?) desktops since probably late 1990s/early 2000s have an
option in the BIOS that enables starting upon power loss/detecting power.

I've used this feature for many years with the computer, monitor and
other related devices all connected to one surge protector. With a
flip of a single switch you turn on all of them and have the computer
booting up.

the monitor was still turned off.


Since I didn't switch it on, what did?
