Power Question (a bit OT)

[..// sea wolf //..]

I always thought this was down to a power surge going thru to the 
motherboard and effectively shorting it into booting.

Can anyone correct me?

Can anyone tell me what it is within a machine that gets it to boot up again 
after it has lost power?

   I have some machines where, if we have a power outage it will crash,  but 
then immediately boot up once power is restored.  I have  others that crash 
and need to be manually powered on when the power is  restored.  Is there a 
name for this feature?  Is there a way  for me to tell how a machine will 
behave in this regard without  actually yanking the power to find out?

   Thanks,
   Tom
