PC turns off after UPS switches from Battery backup to AC mains.

UPS: MicroTek MDP800+ (Dual battery 800VA)
Mains voltage (Rated): 230V
Mains voltage (Practical): 200V - 150V

What can be the problem? Need help immediately. Can not use my PC for long.

GPU: ASUS NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB | PSU: Corsair VS550 | Boot Drive: 840 EVO 250GB
| Monitor: Dell S2216H 1080P IPS

Your PSU might not have a long enough HUT (hold-up time) to survive staying on during the period in which the switchover happens (a fraction of a second).

Urrmmm.. could be overload from the battery from the mains and it turns it self off because of the surge protector maybe?

Ahh right my bad, but I think a Corsair VS550 would be alright for the HUT?

Ahh right my bad, but I think a Corsair VS550 could hold up for the switch-over time? 

Would depend on the UPS specifically. Some are capable of switching over in 5ms or even less, which pretty much any PSU will hold up for. However some may take longer then the Corsair VS is comfortable with. I wouldn't expect that good of HUT or any form of electrical performance with the VS, being Corsair's lowest-end power supply.

 

Even the CX which is noticeably better then the VS, has been criticized for poor hold-up time.

Surge protection where?

Ermmm.. inside it. There is normally a little button that pops out when there has been an overload then you have to press it back in if it overloads. Basically, it could be your UPS or PSU

@Subhajitdas298 Anyway the VS550 has a hold up time of 16ms and the UPS has a hold up time of 6ms so that should be fine.

I don't find any switch and there is no overload here.

Then why it is happening?

I think VS550 can be falsely or untested advertised in that site or The UPS switching back time is not 6ms.
