Do you have enough RAM installed? Have you attempted to reset the CMOS and reinstall both the CPU and memory?

I've been using the PC for more than a year already. I haven't attempted to reset the CMOS yet, but I plan to do it now.

I’m not very familiar with UPS systems, but it seems there are many similar cases and people using them. Some wonder if the UPS might not function properly or if it conflicts with the PSU in use. That’s probably the most likely reason here. Regarding the purpose of a UPS, I understand the concept, but I’ve experienced power outages occasionally—about once every four years, roughly. If I had to guess, the last time my PSU and PC didn’t shut down was during a short outage, which was fine. Usually, when there’s no power, my PC just turns off completely. This is really puzzling, especially since a good PSU can act as a UPS for a short time. It’s strange to think about potential interference or compatibility issues before adding another one. It doesn’t seem like it offers solid protection from what I’m reading.

Yes, we often face power interruptions and weak voltage here, sometimes for extended periods. The ups boost really makes a difference when switching to a generator, and the low voltage issues are manageable. I’m not very familiar with compatibility problems. How can I verify this? I own the MuseTex Atx white model. It doesn’t provide strong airflow, which is why I keep it open for better cooling. Also, I’ve only experienced one overheating incident where it just stopped working and then returned to normal afterward.

Oh, sure, I understand how an UPS can fit the picture now... it’s tough to picture such inconsistent coverage here, but it does make sense in theory. Right, as mentioned, not every UPS is perfect for this setup, though I’m not familiar with all the different models or their inner workings. I just thought it might be worth checking out because it could really help. Hmm, also wonder if you checked the temperatures before it supposedly overheated—even in a poor airflow situation it shouldn’t actually get too hot. Maybe try undervolting as well; that could make a big difference. The side panel being open isn’t ideal, though it’s not the worst option either. My 3070 is undervolted, and its max temperature is around 73°C, but most of the time while gaming or using it, it stays between 50-60°C. I found something interesting about CyberPower a lot—people say it works reliably compared to others, so maybe that’s a good lead? https://www.pcgamer.com/the-best-uninter...ps-for-pc/

I’ll check with UPS to rule out that as the issue. Regarding overheating, the normal gaming temperature was about 60-70°C, but I likely exceeded the specs and FPS while playing in high mode, which caused everything to freeze after a short time. The case felt very hot to the touch; I had to open it to let it cool. Additionally, one of my SSDs began reading incorrectly, delaying the boot process by about 20 minutes. After unplugging the SSD and using the M.2 drive, everything functioned properly again. I have a CyberPower 1500VA AVR.

The bios indicator flashes and the lan connection light activates upon plugging in. The cpu fan turns on even without power, and the lan light shines when connected. Is this related to the mb? Would you need a replacement part?

It seems the CPU might be failing.
