USA electric plugs

[granddad]

I am trying to help a friend in USA , PC not powering on (10 year old Compaq ) ... are they IEEE at PC end and would USA wall plugs be fused ?

USA Wall plugs are fused (w/breakers) at the central panel (load center)

Wall plugs should only have a breaker at the panel, any fuses should be internal.
Very few plugs may have a fuse such as Christmas tree lights.

Thanks guys, looks like I have to talk them thru a power supply swap...
