I do have that battery icon, but it's showing 100% every time I check it
and the UPS monitor software shows the battery fully charged.
If the UPS software was telling the system the battery was getting low,
I'd expect to see something about it in the logs.

Odd - I has a similar thing happen on my Win 7 machine a couple of weeks
ago. I was working on it and it shut down with a message that the
battery was depleted. I turned the UPS off and on and rebooted. With the
UPS I use there is battery / power icon on the system tray like a laptop
and it showed the battery as very low when the machine rebooted, but it
charged up to 100% fairly quickly. I figured the UPS or the UPS battery
was going. Has not happened since.

I know support for XP was supposed to end yesterday, but I got security

I'm also having a problem with Windoze7 that I haven't been able to
figure out.
The only hard-drive failures I've ever encountered happened at boot up,
so I try to minimize that by keeping my computers powered up all the
time. The waste heat also helps to warm the house in the winter.
My computer keeps shutting down. When I restart it, I get a message
telling me the battery reached its critical limit and windows saved
itself to disk. It's acting like a laptop that's been left unplugged.
I don't understand this. It's a "desktop" system plugged into a 2000VA
UPS (online double-conversion) and I haven't had a power failure that
lasted more than an eye-blink for months & months & months (since before
I built this system). I do have the UPS monitoring software installed on
the system, but according to the log files that's not what is shutting
it down.
The UPS is less than 2 years old, and I have verified that the batteries
inside it are good. They're still under warranty.
Google hasn't been much help. I did find one article that suggested
turning power management off, which I did, but that hasn't helped. I
still don't know where it thinks it's getting this low battery signal
from?
