Computer will not start due to hardware (I know a decent amount)?
Okay so I built a custom PC and it worked fine for about a year. Then my uncle installed a microwave which when ever someone would cook it would blow a fuse. This blowing of a fuse caused my PC to shutdown. After this happened around 3 times I ordered a UPS which worked great, but one day about two weeks after buying it my computer would not start up. I bought a new Mobo thinking that was the issue, no. I just bought a new PSU and thought that was the issue, no again. All the unit will do is flicker the power light, have the fans do one rotation and automatically die. If I press the power button again it wont do anything. I have to flip the PSU switch before it will do the flash and fan rotation. However it is not even on long enough to get to the BIOS.

Check to make sure that the RAM works and is installed properly, you may need another working computer to do this. If that doesn't work plug a speaker into the motherboard so that you can hear any BIOS tones it gives off and cross reference them with that motherboards error codes.

try another outlet, sounds like the electrical circuits in your home need updating , microwaves are only about 6 amps
