That what I did earlier. Tested the output voltage of the UPS and its spiking from 230V to 190V and back to 230V everytime that loud noise occur.

That would be ~30V out of spec... the unit is rated for -6% at load where the lowest voltage shouldn't go below, 216V AC when on battery backup. If the system shutdown but UPS stayed on that would make sense where the PSU is trying to protect itself thinking it's receiving bad power.

Okay... I believe Cyberpower and Tripplite brands aren't available here. So what APC model should I get?

And just like what ive said earlier. I can't return my product for warranty because I need to go there by plane and i dont have any time for that. So theres no way fixing it?

Well it's hard to say since the unit as simple as just a battery and transformer, there is quite a bit of circuity and stuff between there to ensure certain protection and to regulate the power, but oddly I'm surprised that the unit doesn't have a low voltage warning or auto-cut off when it dips like that. 

 

As for a UPS if you have a unit like this available then it should work well with everything:

The UPS is designed for 540W is it just fine? And how much would it cost in USD?

Your system if it's the on in the spec shouldn't use more than 300W at full load so with networking equipment and peripherals it should be more than enough, as for cost it would depend since it can vary regionally.

Okay. :) thanks, it helped me alot. I'll just use my UPS for other things. And will try to find what you've recommended. Power outages happens here frequently so it is a must to have a backup power. Once again thank you!
