Manufactured goods are covered by warranty against defects in workmanship, i.e., against failure under normal use. They are not covered against damage caused by external causes, and power fluctuation is an external cause.

Still, competition is so great in the computer hardware market that they may accept it if you don't mention the power fluctuation.
