It will depend on the draw of your computer at the time. The PSU does not always draw 550w, so if it is only drawing 360w or less, than yes it should work. If it is drawing more than 360w at the time of the power outage, i'm not entirely sure what the outcome will be. I would guess that it's either going to suddenly throttle everything or it's going to turn off. I know what happens when your PSU is underpowered, but I don't know whats going to happen if your PSU can't get enough power. Why did you not buy a 550w UPS?
