The likelihood of that happening is pretty much non existent really...some older satellites are maybe vulnerable but these days power companies and such (at least in the first world) know (Thanks to NASA and NOAA) when solar flares are coming and where they will hit as well as when... allowing the power companies to reduce power on the lines to prevent blackouts that have happened in the past.

In other words your power would go long before it took out your computer most likely
