I've experienced some power outages the last two days. Both times my computer has shut down but my router and monitor which are also plugged into the UPS have stayed powered on.

I've checked and all devices are plugged into the "battery + surge" part of the UPS, not the "surge only" part. I know when I had a power outage last summer that the computer stayed on through it and it was plugged into the same UPS at the time.

Since other devices are staying on through the surge I am wondering if this indicates a fault with my computer's PSU? It's an EVGA G3 750W 80 PLUS GOLD.

Hello r/askanelectrician!

I had some electricians out at my house today installing a new panel. They installed a whole-house surge protector while they worked--apparently it is now required by building code where I live. Prior to today, I had all my game consoles and computers hooked up to APC surge protectors and I am wondering if it's fine to keep those plug strips as they are or if I should switch to unprotected plugstrips now that the panel has surge protection. Does it make any difference from a safety or electronics performance standpoint?

Cheers,

Just got an Acer VG240Y P from Amazon. This is my second monitor after the first one had some freesync issues.

My monitor looks authentic but Windows is displaying it as a "VG240Y V" monitor, which as far as I can tell doesn't exist. Is it possible I got a counterfeit? I'm kind of considering returning it because I've also had intermittent issues with green/white pixels and there's some bad edge glow in one corner, but I am also loathe to go rough the replacement process yet again.

Thanks!

MY new computer boots up but enabling XMP in the motherboard causes a crash at startup and forces the BIOS to reset itself. Even running Memtest 86 causes a crash right after starting the diagnostic. I removed two sticks, leaving the ones in the A2, B2, slots. With XMP Memtest 86 will run and complete, but with thousands of errors.

IF I turn off XMP and manually set the clock speed to 3200 MHZ then Memtest completes without error. Is this stable? Am I okay leaving the timings at their defaults?

Appreciate the help. Here's the parts list. I paid a little bit less for all this as I bought the parts before the pandemic, which seems to be raising prices.

As stated in the title, when I plug in my PSU and flip the switch on it the motherbloard lights flash once. I can power on the PSU--I have not hooked it up to a display yet-- and all of the fans and lights turn on properly. After I power the system down the lights on the motherboard remain on. I have a picture of the lights emanating from the I/O shield below. Tried to get a video but having trouble with that. PCPP list below. Have not installed the graphics card yet.

Is this supposed to happen?

I've got my new rig (3700x, 5700xt) and of course I want to protect it. I feel a bit overwhelmed by all the UPS choices.

Also reading reviews on Amazon isn't doing anything good for my anxiety because a number of them talk about their UPS's catching on fire! How do I make sure I get a UPS that's safe and reliable?

Edit: My PSU is an EVGA G3 80 Plus Gold 750W.

At the top of the stairs before the fight.

As the titles says, I am unable to upgrade facilities in the Avenger, even when I have enough power and resources to do so. Is there something I am missing or is my save bugged?

The alien rulers also don't show up for me. The Viper one showed up a few times, but they've been absent the last 20 missions or so.

Thanks for your help.
