I'm having problem on my PC that always re-starting whenever their is a power failure. My PC is connected to UPS thinking that it may not distrupt me whenever there is a power failure, but never serve the purpose of the UPS. I change the PSU thinking that may be the problem, but I already used two PSU with no change on the behaviour of my PC. The mobo is GA-8IPE1000-L (Rev 2.x) Intel 865PE chipset, processor = Intel 2.8Ghz 800FSB, video= ATI radeon 9200, HDD = Seagate Baracuda (80GB-IDE), memory Hynix PC3200 (512MB). Please help me to find out what's the problem of my PC, I'm suspecting that may be the mobo. By the way I also try three UPS (APC); APK and one with unkown brand (Binatone) but never solve the problem of re-starting. Any help are highly appreciated. Thanks

It's probably not a motherboard problem.
Most UPS's need software to be loaded on the computer, as well as being connected by a special cable to the usb port. APC uses a program called PowerChute (http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=129.
But if you've already done that and it doesn't work, I have no clue.

What is the maximum wattage load the UPS can support and what does your rig draw? You're UPS probably isn't up to the task. I encountered a similar problem when I went SLI. Never considered that my reliable old UPS couldn't suuport the load but that was the cae. Read the lables, added up my power needs and sure enough, i was beyond the max the UPS could support. Went and got a bigger one as I consider UPS an essential item.
