This reminded me of a situation I had years ago. My desktop was performing poorly. I'd had it for a few years and the performance quality had dropped significantly. I called in an on-site tech. He checked things out and advised me to get a UPS with a voltage regulator. I did, and the performance quality was good again. I had moved to a different apartment not long before this, and apparently the voltage fluctuations in the different part of town were just enough to wear on the components. I troubleshoot DVRs at work, and every time a customer calls in having had to replace theirs 3 times in a year or so, I recommend they get a voltage regulator. I still use the same UPS, but I was wondering if computer manufacturing has improved to where voltage regulators are included in the systems.

Check the capacitors on the motherboard - if any of them show the top popping up (the top is normally flat with a cross inscribed), you have or will have a power problem on the motherboard. Ultimately, the computer will fail, in any of several ways.

A small free utilty called motherboard monitor shows,amongst other things,the variations in the values of the various voltages of your power supply. It logs the lowest and highest levels and you can have an alarm go off when a voltage drops below a given value. So with this utility it�s easy to see wether your power supply is stable or failing.
