BTW, I'd recommend you buy a UPS anyway. The cheap ones (<$200) won't provide power for long in the event of a total failure, but they'll catch those sub-second dips and glitches which are usually enough to reset your machine.


Leave the room meaning going to the bathroom or doing something else for 5 minutes or something. I have surge protection but no UPS. My settings are all good. I'm A+ certified(years ago) but this just has me at a loss.
