I use a Microtek SEBZ 900 ( https://www.flipkart.com/microtek-ups-sebz-900-va-pure-sine-wave-inverter/p/itmebmdcsza5qm88 ) uninterrupted power supply, which gives power to 4-5 light fixtures and ceiling fans in the house. But the main things that draw power out of it are two desktop computers:
1) AMD FX 8350, Asus M5A97 R 2.0 board, Radeon HD 6670 graphic card, 60 GB SSD and 500 GB SATA HDD
2) Intel i5 4670k, B85M-G board, onboard graphics, 60 GB SSD and 500 GB SATA HDD
Both desktop computers have Corsair VS450 PSU's.
The AMD computer obviously draws a lot more than the Intel one. Some time ago the desktop with AMD 8350 processor started randomly restarting. Based on the feedback in another thread I figured that its the PSU that's the culprit. So, as a quick fix, I just swapped the PSU's of the Intel and AMD desktops. It solved the problem but after 6 months, the AMD computer has again stopped showing display. After verifying that the graphic card is working, and resetting the BIOS, I called a computer technician checked and has said that the PSU is causing it.
My question: The AMD configuration has made 2 Corsair VS 450 PSU's to malfunction in such a quick succession, while they worked well with Intel configuration. Could it happen that the Uninterrupted Power supply is not enough. And can this damage the PSU? Do I need to get a higher VA uninterrupted power supply to avoid damaging the PSU's in the future?
