Answer 5

A power surge is a giant amount of power going into your system. The result can be to the extent that it cannot handle it so it overheats so hard that it explodes or catches fire.

You could have a lightening strike in your area that could go through your electrical system.  It may overload your system and burn out its primary components.  Anyone with a computer or other high-tech system should use a surge protector.  It is a great deal cheaper in the long run.
