Was my best guess as well. Currently looking for a good uninterruptible power supply.
I'm guessing it should match or exceed what my power supply can do. So need a 1200w+ UPS.
Can't find a whole lot online about good brands though. Most im finding wouldn't be able to keep up with my psu. :/
And the ones that can have very limited information and few if any reviews.
Those watts UPS's are nice .. but in all honesty ... I consider them a bit meaningless unless you run a dedicated server supplying a continuous service. I consider UPS units in a private/home scenario way too expensive for their functionality.
Generally, if the power breaks down in the house or in the grid affecting several streets, the downtime is generally longer then the supporting capabilities of those units, only getting you shutdown time ...
Most modern windows system handle instant power off perfectly, and reboot when needed without issues.
From the given scenario you experienced, you could have done with a 5 buck surge protector on your computers power connection
