First off you should be turning off your computer by using the shutdown function of the computer. Some computers don't automatically shut themselves off when doing this and you have to hit the power button on the front of the PC. You shouldn't even turn off the computer by flipping the switch on the power strip, nor should you turn it off by holding in the power button on the front panel either. You can set up some PC's to shutdown when you just touch the power button on the front panel, but I would still just recommend hitting shut down (it doesn't take long).
