Power Flicker With UPS = computer still going dead NEO2 FI..

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.msi-microstar (More info?)

I have a NEO2 FIS2R and an APC UPS, but when the power flickers, my computer
still loses power... now heres the sweet thing.

First I changed to a belkin UPS same prob, so I did a little test. I
unplugged the ups, and the computer keeps running fine, with both UPSs
<---sp? NEwayz

So I thought It may be Power Supply, (420W thermaltake), So I bought a new
raidmax case with raidmax 420w... same thing happens... I have decided it
must be the MB??

with either UPS I can unplug from wall, and it still works. But when power
flickers... computer dies. I've already crashed 2 maxtor diamondmax9 SATA
250 gigs on a raid 0 because of this. HELP PLEASE


btw. any other computer plugged into either one of the UPS still works when
power flickers... (it happens a lot out here in the sticks)

thanks in advance for any help

Now that you mention it, The monitor is 19" so I have it straight to the
wall in an attempt to extned battery life. But I will def give that a
try...

Thanks for the idea,
