Go in the BIOS.  In the Power options, probably along side power saving 
features, there will be something like On Power Loss/Resume : and then 
what action the PC should take (you should be able to scroll through the 
options).  I always set mine to Stay Off, but you can also set them to 
Resume Last State, or Boot/Startup/Turn On PC.   I leave mine at Stay 
Off, because when the poser goes off here it sometimes surges a few 
times before it finally goes out.   So basically the PC will boot 2-3 
times in quick succession after shutting down abnormally.   No I don't 
have a UPS or a line conditioner and if it all breaks I'm hosed.
