| When the power goes out at my house, my computer NEVER turns back on unless I pull out the powercord and leave it for a few minutes.  So I know what you're talking about on that aspect of it.  Are you sure that the plug-in at the wall you're using isn't broke?  I'd try it out at different plug-ins first.  Hell, before that, make sure that not too many appliances are plugged into that outlet on a surge protector.  Too many plugs going into an outlet will cause them to simply shut down like that.
 If none of that stops it, I'd say you need a new power supply.  Good luck!
