I'm in a place with constant power fluctuations and daily outages. About a year ago, I got a UPS for my PC to protect it from power issues. However, I recently upgraded my PC and I've noticed that my current UPS sometimes fails to protect it from these fluctuations, causing my display to cut out briefly. This happens about once a day. I'm concerned that my new components, which took me months to acquire, might get damaged. Right now, I'm using a LOGAN L-PW1000-PLUS. Should I consider switching it out?

It sounds like your UPS might be a bit undersized, especially since you recently upgraded your components. A 750VA UPS typically supports systems with a real-time power draw of about 300W to 450W. If your new setup is pulling more power, it could lead to overloads. Have you checked how much power your new PC actually consumes?
Thanks for pointing that out! I realized I made a mistake; I actually have a LOGAN L-PW1000-PLUS, which is supposed to be stronger. I upgraded to a 550W PSU, does that change anything?
