Hello, here are your details: Motherboard: Gigabyte A520-DS3H CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 4350g GPU: MSI Radeon RX 6400 AERO RAM: 4x8 Kingston Fury Beast @ 3200Mhz Power Supply: XPG Pylon 650w I notice the power regulator activates during current spikes, which seems linked to poor network quality. When it trips, the system shuts down and restarts itself, but I have to manually restart the PSU—it doesn’t work with the power button or reset pins. Once fixed, the PC turns back on normally. My concerns are: does this affect the long-term health of the system? Are there ways to prevent this issue? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Are you referring to a UPS or battery backup system? It’s not ideal as it can cause data loss and harm equipment. A UPS is meant to guard against power interruptions, including spikes. If it shuts off power, consider replacing the battery or switching to a different UPS. Batteries typically require replacement every couple of years under regular use.

Powering on the PSU indicates an internal safety feature has triggered. This isn’t ideal for the future. A reliable UPS with sufficient capacity is the best solution. It seems you’re using a line conditioner that can’t handle the load during a brownout. Or perhaps just a surge protector? They only work in extreme cases like lightning strikes or significant power outages.

Just a basic regulator and surge protector.

It activates immediately, never posting. It's a surge protector; it only tripped during lightning strikes and power outages. The device functions normally afterward, though the PC doesn't turn on right away—only after the surge protector has shut down.

If it shuts down, I’d think the computer wasn’t getting power and was off. After a surge protector or UPS saved it from lightning, I’d swap those out since they’re prone to damage. It’s much cheaper than fixing the PC itself.

It shuts down right when there’s an issue on the power line. For instance, a nearby lightning strike didn’t hit directly at my house, but close enough to impact the grid, causing a spike. The surge protector tripped, though it remained active and cut power to connected devices. The problem is that the PC starts up on its own but fails to boot properly, similar to rapid on/off cycles—something unusual if it’s not normal behavior.
