The UPS emits a warning sound during game launch.
The UPS emits a warning sound during game launch.
In short, my newly constructed Windows 10 64-bit machine is finally complete.
I installed Overwatch, started the application, and then the UPS emitted an unusual sound through its warning light. After exiting the game, it ceased functioning. I suspect there might be an issue with the UPS.
I employ a power strip connected to the UPS to extend its reach toward my computer. It works reliably and supplies consistent power, but I want you to understand what’s occurring and why this is happening.

I’m sharing this information to clarify the situation and ensure transparency.
The issue likely stems from either excessive power draw by your components exceeding what the UPS supplies, OR from unstable power quality causing the UPS to activate temporarily (resulting in a chirp/beep) to maintain system operation. Keep in mind that during gaming, the GPU increases power consumption, which can contribute to this situation.
Read manual... It should indicate when or why it beeps, along with the conditions involved. Post your system spec normally... https://pcpartpicker.com/list/
