I figured I would buy a inexpensive computer and try and build it up after a time. All was well I was playing all the games I wanted with nice graphics and smooth playing when my power blinks off. I had a surge protector and wasn't worried (at the time) about anything happening to my computer. So I try and go on and it boots slower then normal but I hardly noticed it, I was more intent in playing my game then anything, when suddenly after trying to open my browser my computer glitches out for a second and then blue screens, it restarts and blue screens again and i decided to pull the plug because you know... blue screens are bad.So now here I am trying to figure of what is wrong with it. I have manged to get it if work and on the desktop but am afraid to do anything...
tl;dr-Need help finding what is wrong with my computer after power surge
My specs are-
Mobo-AMD FX 4100 Quad Core Processor
Graphics Card-AMD Radeon HD 4250 graphics
6GB DDR memory
1TB Hard Drive
-If I need to put more specs in please tell me-

What does the blue screen say? Right click My computer -> properties, advanced, (there should be something about error checking or something.. I'm in linux right now so I can't remember) and then find a check box that says "reboot on error" that way you can actually see the full error.
