How old is the battery in your UPS? They need to be replaced after about 3 years. It may be time for a replacement.
Or it could be that your UPS is just undersized for the load. Is there anything besides the PC on the UPS?

Then it is just not large enough. The behavior you describe is what UPS units do in an overload situation. The 650VA rating may be complete fiction and that unit may only support 450VA ...

I have never had a problem with my APC ups.
You generally get what you pay for.

Cyberpower, tripplite, and APC (eaton for businesses) are the big brands. Although recently APC was bought out and some people haven't been happy with the quality.

PC power supplies are weird on some UPS. Generally you want something with a wattage that is at least as high as your PSU wattage and maybe 20% more than that to guarantee functionality. Voltamps (VA) are not the same as watts and most UPS are rated in VA. For your system probably something with 1000-1400VA would give you 20-30minutes of run time before the batteries died.

I have the one linked below for my desktop and the one below that for my network equipment.
