Throw the MAC in the trash were it belongs, and buy a real PC.

yes the Tower is referred to as the CPU[Central Processing Unit] \n\nthat is in technical parlance\n\ngood luck\n\n\nRegarding the power surge, i have an UPS[Uninterupted Power Supply] which not only protects my pc from frequent power loss and of course from fluctuations\n\nyou can also try power surge protectors, instead of leaving them on\n\n\nremember..turning your pc not only savees your computer and tvs from burn out\n\nit also saves power

Unplug the power cord from the back of the PC, leave it unplugged for 30 seconds.  Plug it back in and turn on the PC, then turn off power save and hibernate.\n\nGood luck HTH!

if the tower is all working (light is on and display is showing on monitor) then chances are the OS is damaged. recover using the recovery disc or in some cases using the resest config data option in BIOS

Check for loose connections.  \n\nDesktop comps: If you think you have a bad power supply, you can test it by putting it into a comp you know is working or put a power supply you know works into the comp your building. \n\nGood luck.

You should be ok if you have it on a hard surface like a desk or table. \n\nIf you have it on the floor, or couch, or table with tablecloth, it may overheat due to the fan being blocked by the fabric.  Overheating is bad as it can kill the motherboard and/or drive and you would have an expensive paperweight.\n\nLeaving a computer on is supposed to be good for it since booting from the off state over and over adds wear and tear to the system.  I have a PC that I power off every night, and a work laptop that gets shut down once or twice a day, both work fine.  I haven't rebooted my mac in over a month and it too works fine.

Your screen has gone to standby to save power, just wiggle the mouse or click. and it should come back. You go into your computer options and change the preferences so it will not do this as much or not art all

First go to control panel > Power Options > Power Schemes > Settings for Home/Office Desk Schemes  and check whether you have activated any auto turn off for HDD or Monitior (say after 10 minutes). \n\nCheck whether you have activated any screen server which gives you a blank screen after certain amount of time.\n\nIf it is not this please make sure your data cable, mouse cable and keyboard cables are properly connected to your system. \n\nMake sure that no automatic shutdown tasks is created earlier.\n\nAlso run a virus scan so as to make sure that there is timer based viruses which activate them selves in a sp. time.

No, you can always turn off or restart your PC.  It's good to keep the cable modem on, however if it does go down it will resynch on it's own most of the time.

You never turn off a PC by the switch or by unplugging it. You risk corrupting the hard drive. Which is what probably happened.\n\nYou may have no choice but to format and re-load.

You can switch off the monitor by pushing the "off button" on the monitor. That will put it on "standby", but you cannot unplug it to turn it off all together.\n\nA computer needs a monitor, keyboard and mouse at all time in order to operate.

Why not check the simplest thing first. Go to Control Panel and select Power Management. Check the entry Standbymodus - is there a time defined? If yes, set it to none or never.

The fan should turn off automatically when it is not needed to cool the processor. Unless you are talking about the fan for the casing. You could look at a computer electronics store and see if they have an energy saver type of fan.
