What does that do?
You made that up.![]()
I suspect that what's happening is that the power surge is overcharging various components in your system, and that this prevents the system from starting up correctly. Un-plugging the system then pressing the power button causes all this excess charge to be discharged, and then when you plug back in and power up you get a clean start.
The amount of power stored (normally in capacitors; some ICs may contain capacitors too) varies depending on the design of each motherboard as well as the power supply (and any other components that are involved in this), so you'll probably notice varying results with different machines.
