================== ( a second answer)
There are devices called surge protectors that are good to have to protect against power surges. The typical unit serves as the power supply to the computer. It plugs into the wall socket and the computer plugs into it. They come at various price levels and I understand that some of them are useless.
The computer may also have some fuses of its own.
