Ah, well that's sounding more and more like some external force is cooking things. Given the circumstances, think I'd replace the UPS and the power supply too. The UPS is a bit pricey, but power supplies are pretty cheap. You definitely don't wanna roast any more parts.

I got a new one of those as well - that was the 1st thing we tried to fix

I've got a small surge protector that has a 30 minute battery in it - all I need is 15 seconds of back-up power, as the generator kicks on 10 seconds after the electricity goes out.

My fingers are crossed

Make sure that power supply isnt one of those 240 or 300 jobs - got to get a lot more power available to keep it from burning up stuff when you put a big load on power supply - if youre running dual processors at least a good 700w works great LOL
