Exactly right.! UPS is SUPPOSED to kep the computer UP.
If the computer power supply isn''t overloaded or failing then:
Either the UPS is overloaded, has bad batteries, or has a failing control
board.
if the computer's power supply is fully loaded, it may not have the carry
thru to take the 1/2 cycle switchover time many UPSs have. One other
possibility comes to mind, and thats one that acts more like a ghost...
with the lower system and core voltages, these new systems are reallly
succeptible to ground loops and/or elevated ground voltages. The problem
usually shows up when an atx power supply does a spontaneous restart...
almost impossible to trace and very frustrating.
BUT I'd bet on one of the batterys being marginal or worse..
