My DELL desktop all-in one PC takes forever to boot so I usually just Lock it rather than power it down at night. This PC has a 85W transformer section of the power cord and a jack that plugs into the PC. After a power outage it takes a very long time to reboot, and Dell software, that I cannot find a way to purge from the Control Panel, treats it like a computer crash and wants to restore or even apply the original factory image which is not even the version of Windows I am currently using. When I click to cancel our DELL's 'help', it turns the PC off and I must endure a second long start up procedure.
Do I just bite the bullet and say I will have to endure long reboot times for nighttime outages?
At times we have quick power blips, that do not even kill the microwave's clock, that shut down the PC. Other time power to the whole house is down for up to 2 hours.
Will UPS kick in fast enough to keep the PC running long enough to power down normally?
Once PC power is off from a prompt normal shut down.
Is there an UPS that can keep my router and a nearby telephone base station active for a couple of hours?
The router claims to have an 8 hour back up battery so maybe I wouldn't need to plug it in to the UPS.
