My electric utility shut my power off for 10 minutes to change a cable on a pole. I was not home. When I returned about 2 hours later my computer sounded like it was on but I knew I had shut it off prior to leaving. When I pressed the start button the computer went silent. When I opened up the tower I saw melted wiring inside. I told them that they caused a voltage spike when they reenergized the circuit. They said they did not do anything wrong and did not detect any unusual electrical disturbances. They refused to reimburse me. They also burned up my atomic clock. I believe they caused a voltage spike or is there some other possible explanation? I'm litigating. Thanks
