Alright so I was playing Tomb Raider, collecting stuff for 100% and BOOOOMMM power outage. Nevermind I think, I'll just wait it out. Power comes back. Starts playing again. 10 minutes later BOOOMMM power outage again. I just want to know if I should be worried for my components?I've got and EVGA 750w gold PSU

If you've got an HDD power loss might be slightly bad for it, else it's going to be fine. You should probably get a UPS though.

No, only a surge would hurt your computer, and that is prevented by using a power bar. Which is why we use them and not the direct to the wall.

If you were saving something and the power went out, that can be bad. If you are updating windows and the power goes out is very bad, and a power outage during a bios update can be fatal.
