Hi,
I've a strange situation, basically have 2 issues.

Issue1:
A) I'm using desktop with ups for 1 year without any issues.
B) Recently my ups fails to give backup to my desktop.
C) I suspected ups, apc person tested and said ups doesn't have any problem, its working with other loads (tv+monitor+speakers), but fails with my desktop.

Desktop configuration:
Processor: Intel i3220
Motherboard: Gigabyte ga-b75-d3h
Hdd: 1 TB westren digital
Ram: corsair ddr3 4gb
Optical drive: lg
Psu: Seasonic 430w
&
Ups: Apc bx-600-ci

What could be the reason for sudden backup issue ?

Issue 2:
A) Recently my desktop giving small tic tic sound, technician checked desktop fan and cpu fan, but they are fine. It seems like sound coming from psu, he says may be from psu fan.
Any idea what may be the reason.

Is the 2 issue causing the 1st issue ?

It will be great if you can provide any help/inputs.

Regards,
Kumar
 
Solution
The PSU may be starting to fail and might be giving wrong readings to the UPS, hence issue #1. Seasonic is a very good PSU but 430W may not be enough to power everything installed on your pc. Try something like an EVGA550W.
