First of all I have a separate computer circuit for my computer and all
accessories, It is a special receptacle for computers only and installed by
a licensed electrician.
This is where the problem begins. When there is a power shortage or surge,
the backup power supply will let me know by a small ringing sound to let me
know there is something wrong and I have five minutes to save, restore and
shutdown my comp.
With everything running and I happen to go into another room and turn on the
lights this seems to send a signal to the power supply and then it starts to
ring and warn me something is wrong. I have run the comp with this ringing
going on for over a half hour at a time just to test the system and nothing
happens until I turn off the computer reset the backup power supply then I
turn back on until the next time. The Backup battery was replaced about one
year ago,anybody have any thoughts as to why this is happening ?
