that is interesting..might need more than one due to hydro flow.
I would hope that one could say connect power bars tot he UPS so that
more than a single item gets monitored?

A UPS is essentially a battery with some electronics. You plug the UPS into
the wall and then plug your computer into the UPS. The UPS monitors the
power and evens out brownouts and power surges. When power goes out
completely the UPS allows you time to save your work and safely power down
your computer. When there is constant power, the UPS will recharge the
battery.
Prices vary with the size of the UPS.

How expensive are UPS units, and how do they work?
My hydro is included in my rent. However my landlord does not understand
his layout from the city standards is not correct. It is being
investigated, but may still need an alternative.

Computer component testing software, even if you can find it, won't
prevent
hardware damage. Maybe you should consider a UPS or other power
management
hardware that will even out any power surges and brownouts.

Hi folks,
What I am seeking is an open source program that tests aspects of say
your
motherboard. that the serial ports or parallel ports work, that the USB
ports are sound etc.
I am asking because due to an as of yet not fixed hydro problem in my
new
apartment, the occasional power surges, even with machines attached to
protectors, are causing slight damage to hardware.
Need to know how much as I only have so many computers I can use.
Any program ideas?
Will be sharing suggestions with someone hopefully helping me
troubleshoot.
Thanks,
Karen
