There is a short circuit in a component in the power circuit.

The power circuit in a computer system, regulates, rectifies and steps down power and voltage entering the main motherboard.

When a power surge capable of damaging the motherboard occurs, A component in the power circuit is shorted, not allowing the dangerous power to pass.
