Thanks, I just don't have the equipment to test the UPS myself. I'm not 100% sure it's the UPS, it's just very coincidental that two machines died on the same UPS within a 24 hour period. I have two of the same UPS's and the other one is ok and I have three identical machines on that one with no issues yet (as far as I know). I was a little pissed that the tech support was absolutely unwilling to help in any way whatsoever. I won't be buying any Best Power stuff in the future.

I'm sure you've replaced them by now anyway, and if they can't evaluate with just those, I wouldn't put much stock in them as a company anyway... As far as testing the UPS...well, the only way a UPS can "blow" a power supply is to exceed its input ratings for either voltage or frequency, so you would need to monitor those under varying conditions to see if it's that.
