Usually, the PSU is the first thing that breaks down from aging, heavy load, poor design, sub-par or under-rated components.

Since I do not think I have ever seen your PSU brand before, my first guess would be that it is a questionable off-brand contraption.

you said it happens when connected through your ups. so the issue is more than likely between the ups and the power supply being that you said your system works fine when connected through the wall directly. have you ran a diagnostic check on the UPS to see if the battery or parts of it are going bad? if your power supply is going bad and causing the UPS to act all wonky and deliver varying power to the computer it could cause a lot of wear and tear over time and have made the UPS faulty as it tries to constantly correct and supply a steady stream of standard power. so what do i suggest....

First if you have a no name brand power supply, get rid of it and buy a name brand one. test out new power supply by directly plugging it into the wall for a few days and gaming to see if it crashes. no crash means new brand name power supply is good. now after that connect it through the UPS, if you start having the same problems like before then your UPS is toast and needs to be fixed or replaced. that's about what i think

for your new PSU purchase a 80 plus bronze certafied power supply of at lest 430 watss, but preferably 550 watts for the test.
