If you're using it with a surge protector, then it will be safe.

If you're not, any possible damage will have already been done at the time of the surge.

You basically have to use a surge protector on any computing equipment.

You don't know until you boot it, like I say any damage will already have been done, nothing you can do to stop that at this point.

Yes, if it boots up and doesn't start randomly switching off, then it's fine.

If you hear any electronic crackling, strange noises, or strange smells, then turn it off immediately.

BUT, please go out and buy a surge protector, so that you don't have to worry about this issue again (and remember that the PCS warranty can be voided if you don't have a surge protector fitted).
