Got a quick question regarding a computer that won't boot.

I was doing some cleaning today and accidentally snagged a cord and pulled my surge protector's plug out of the wall. My computer, which is plugged into the protector, wasn't on at the time. I plugged the surge protector back in and all the leds in my comp started flashing in sync with each other at a steady pace (motherboard light, light by the power button, etc). I tried to boot up but pressing the power button did nothing.

The thing that ticks me off is that this happen once before. That time my computer had actually been on when I accidentally stepped on the power switch to the surge protector. The exact same thing with the lights happened. I just can't remember for the life of me how I got it running again.

Anyone have any suggestions?
The computer won't boot up at all; no fans spin, nothing powers up. Pressing the power button does nothing. The only signs of life are the flashing lights.
 
Push the power button and turn it on, and select "Start Windows Normally"
