How do computer users protect their computers from too much electricity?
To protect a computer completely from electrical problems you would have to keep it unplugged. Unfortunately this makes it useless. Using surge protection on the power supply is a simple and relatively cheap protection from spikes in the power supply. A UPS or uninteruptible power supply can be set up to allow the computer to run for a period of time after a breakdown in the power supply. These are more expensive the longer they can supply power, and are often set up to supply power for just long enough to do a save and tidy shutdown of the computer.
