That's strange, that a spike is getting through your UPS to the PC.
Maybe a cheap UPS.

You do have a UPS (or even a mains filter) on the mains to your PC,
don't you?

Actually, I think I already know the answer to that one, hehe!

Please add the following costs:-
New PC = £
Several hours of your time = £
Loss of all that data you meant to back up but didn't = £

Now compare to :-
New UPS cost = £60 to £100

Never ceases to amaze me that people don't use them.


Where the hell did a UPS come into it?

Cheap speakers, poor filtering, bad cable management.
