Where I live power outages are very common and is a daily occurrence. This is why I use a UPS to protect my PC when this happens. This worked great and I had no issues
Months ago my power went out but it was different this time. The monitor shut off but it was still getting electricity since the “on” green light was still on and my PC starting going full fan speed and was being very loud. When the power came back and when I shutdown my pc (while not seeing anything because monitor was off I just used the power button which also initiates shutdown if the PC is on) I got the blue screen of death. Luckily, after some time my PC automatically fixed the problem and I never gave it a second thought and everything was going well again.
Fast forward to today, the same thing happened this time no blue screen but it happened twice today and in short periods of time. Am guessing it has something to do with the power shutting off too abruptly and weirdly which makes my UPS not react fast enough creating this weird state of between turned on and turned off. But is there anything I could do? Any gadget perhaps I can buy so that I can be sure this never happens again? Here is my specs for my computer:
Ryzen 5 3600X
EVGA RTX 2060 ULTRA KO
B550 motherboard
16 gbs of RAM
256 gb SSD
1 TB SSD
1 TB HDD
Corsair CX550M
I appreciate it if you read this far. If you have any ideas or suggestions maybe even a solution please comment and let me know. Thanks!
