Carbon monoxide detector alarm sounded in middle of night?

and i wonder if the reason was because of light bulbs that burst. we had 3 power surges in our home from equipment failure from the power company (entergy) the first 2 caused the lights to dim and made the computer smell hot and the surge protector made a big spark when the electricity went back on. the last power surge which i think was the worst one, happened at about 4am and caused the computer tower to burn inside. it also blew out or burnt out 2 of the energy saving spiral type flourescent bulbs in the kitchen. the strange thing is that our carbon monoxide detector alarm sounded and woke my son and i. my home is all electric. i have had the carbon monoxide detector for about 10 years and this is the first time it has ever sounded the alarm like that. was that caused from the light bulbs that blew out or burnt out from the power surge? when we changed the bulbs, they were not broken, only burnt out. thanks
