Post your system specs. Power supply and brand included. Brand
and wattage of ups.
How do you know your power fluctuates? Are you using a gas
powered generator for power? Have you performed any other tests
on the machine? ie memtest, antivirus, hdd diagnostics? If so
please mention....

Hi mate,
First of, tell me do you live in building or in house??? Maybe you have low power...
It happens in my town lots of times because people experiencing problem just like yours because they live in house that they built it and they have managed low power...
They experiencing loads of power-downs and their PCs got dead mostly...
Second, what make/model is your UPS??? Because I have one lame UPS at work, when power goes down, my PCs just turns off like there is now UPS at all...
So it could be bad UPS... It does not matter if your UPS is new, maybe it is not good...
I could suggest you to take the case to your friends house and plug it there and test it... if it is good at his place, then you definatelly have problem home...
Hope this will help you mate...

nfsc1131 · 07-02-2008, 05:46 AM

DUDE..i live in my own home but my country (bangladesh) has too much power problems....FREQUENT POWER OUTAGES AND POWER FLICKERS

dai · 07-02-2008, 05:53 AM

those are problems before the ups we are looking at after the ups

**vladimirb** · 07-02-2008, 06:11 AM

Hi mate,
tell us about your UPS then... What make/model is it???
If you have no-name UPS it could be that...
I said I have some lame UPS [do not want to say what make/model is it], and when power goes down, UPS do not do anything hehe. It just starts to beep lol...
So bad UPS --- PC brakedown...

nfsc1131 · 07-02-2008, 08:36 AM

MY UPS'S MANUFACTURER IS HENDAN AND THE MODEL IS T600

HENDAN T600-UPS'S MODEL NAME

AND POWER SUPPLY=ATX POWER SUPPLY 350+

RUNNING CELERON D 3.06 GHZ...1 GB DDR1 RAM...MOTHERBOARD IS ASUS P5PE-VM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND NOTHING ELSE..EVERYTHING (from agp to soundcard to lan and blah blah blah is built in motherboard)

and yes the ONLY THING WHICH IS OLD IS MY PSU...i used the same psu on my previous pc and had the same restarting problem

**vladimirb** · 07-02-2008, 08:43 AM

Hi mate,
dai was right - your PC is underpowered...
Could you borrow some more powerful PSU from a friend to test your PC with new PSU???

nfsc1131 · 07-02-2008, 09:03 AM

It's old . . It is not a major brand . .

If you have frequent power outages and brownouts, you might want to get a Uninteruptable Power Supply . . it will buffer the voltage changes and protect the pc.

You absolutely need a heatsink . . and you must have one or the cpu would burn up in about 10 seconds . . maybe you do not have a fan on it?

dai · 07-03-2008, 12:06 AM

what video card are you using,need this to check what size psu you need

nfsc1131 · 07-04-2008, 05:46 AM

I have a Radeon 9200 128 mb but never used it and it's not inside the PC..Currently i m using a bad built in video card (96 mb) that came with my motherboard (ASUS P5PE-VM or something like that)

and yes...the built in video card's manufacturer is INTEL

dai · 07-04-2008, 06:00 AM

even when you install the card it will not be a power hog
