TIL my surge protector was the weak link, not my PSU

I spent 3 months blaming my power supply for random shutdowns. Swapped out a $90 unit, still happened. Finally checked the surge protector I'd been using since 2019. It was rated for 900 joules, and the lights on it were completely dead. Replaced it with a $35 one rated at 2000 joules. Not one crash in 6 weeks. Anyone else ever trace a weird problem back to the power strip instead of the actual hardware?
