the main causes of power surges are related to the power company. some companies put forth more effort to prevent them from happening to begin with, and some don't care and some even sell special surge protectors on the monthly power bill to prevent it, but it shouldn't happen to begin with, however you're best solution is just to buy a surge protector and everything will be fine, at least that way you're guaranteed to not lose any electronics due to the power company's power surges.
