This is a hardware issue and it might have something to do with your power supply unit (PSU). When your power goes out in your house you should switch off your PC to avoid any potential damage due to power surges when your power comes back on. If you use your PC extensively and/or you have very expensive equipment you would do well to invest in a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) because it will provide your PC ample time for you to shut it down correctly without risking damage to the components. I would advise clicking on "FIX" the next time this happens as one or more of your drives may be in danger of catastrophic failure due to repeated power outages. Dell is just letting you know in their own considerate way that your system needs attention because it wasn't shut down correctly. I hope this helps.

You could test it with an alternative PSU. If it works with a different PSU then you know the damage has already been done. IF after 12 hours the power button works then it isn't likely your PSU. Your power button is an interrupt. It is possible to make hardware that will "ignore" an interrupt but this isn't likely the case. You could try removing your battery and doing a CMOS reset. This will result in you having to reconfigure your BIOS. IF after a CMOS reset you have the same problem then I would say that the damage has already been done.

AGAIN: I highly advise getting a UPS if you experience frequent power surges.

Given that a sudden power failure could cause your PC to become completely unbootable (e.g. should that happen whilst it's processing an update), and that you know power outages occur frequently there, I really do hope you have been using 3rd party disk imaging regularly and routinely to give yourself a routine recovery option.

But as Scannerman says, you need a UPS. And if you got one, you should still use disk imaging of course.

The battery referred to is a round silver battery often referred to as the 'CMOS battery'.

A CMOS battery is a small, 3V lithium coin cell (typically model CR2032) on a computer motherboard that powers the BIOS/UEFI firmware. It enables the system to retain settings—like date, time, and hardware configurations

You really need to take the advice from @Scannerman and get a UPS. Out of curiosity are you using a surge protector or plugging the computer directly into the outlet? If you can't afford to buy a UPS you should invest in a quality surge protector until you can. I'm not talking about a cheapy one from stores like Walmart but one that is a little more expensive and highly rated.
