Kick the surge protector and see if that resets the PC. Then try plugging it in directly to the wall.


Eventually, you should be able to replicate the problem pretty well. Sans a spinning hard drive, I can't think of a major risk to being somewhat vigorous to intentionally trigger the reset. Be bold! Just don't rip cables out of your computer or throw it across the room? I don't know. It's difficult to communicate how rough you can be without hurting the computer.
