The electrician described how electricity travels through online ups, is filtered, and reaches my PC continuously, unlike a regular system that only functions during brief power bursts, suggesting it would operate consistently.
We are nearing a solution. Sine wave UPS can supply conditioned power, though it may struggle during brownout situations (which aligns with what I believe your concern is). Power conditioners handle suboptimal conditions better, but they typically don’t include battery backup for extended outages. You require a system that addresses both needs.
This appears to match your expected requirement. It’s not inexpensive.

The idea of an online UPS is a double conversion model. This means the device constantly converts DC to AC. It maintains a steady voltage output. To obtain a suitable UPS, you must first determine the real power consumption of your PC under heavy use. For most users on this setup, gaming is the main load, though video transcoding could be higher. Identify the actual wattage to choose the right size. If you don’t mind a shorter backup time during outages, opt for the smallest double conversion unit available—typically around 1000VA. I suggest purchasing a used commercial model, such as the APC Smart-UPS ONLINE, and consider shipping without batteries to cut costs. I currently have three units similar to this one at home.
I understand you require a steady voltage output that consistently provides both AC and DC, not just during power outages. Thanks for your clarification. I’ll wait until I return from work next week to explore options and see what I can do. I’ll also look for someone who has this type of device so I can test it before making a purchase, as it seems costly without certainty.
A top-tier UPS comes with a price tag. Ongoing expenses also apply. The batteries need replacement every three to five years. A premium PC power supply handles voltage variations well, usually accepting inputs between 90 and 250V AC. Therefore, inconsistent voltage rarely causes problems. Here’s an example of the Be Quiet 750W model:

It supports input voltages from 100 to 240VAC. Using a device like the Kill-A-Watt (or comparable in your region) lets you measure your PC’s voltage input, which is a cost-effective first step.
I've also heard about it, which is why I decided to buy the Be Quiet one. I'll test it a bit longer and note the voltage before making any further purchases. It could be another factor contributing to the problems I'm facing that I haven't considered yet.
I believe you should ensure there is at least 25% more wattage than your computer. Based on that, I would like a 1000 watt UPS. Both CyberPower and APC appear to be reliable options. The only thing to keep in mind is that some models might start with empty batteries, which could require purchasing new ones. Proceed with caution...
If you genuinely require an online (double-conversion) UPS, I anticipate costs exceeding $200. These are primarily aimed at enterprise use. Even a solid consumer line-interactive UPS usually costs around $200 nowadays. I’m uncertain about your needs but doubt you truly need one. I could recommend purchasing a reliable line-interactive UPS from a retailer offering strong return options.
