Hi guys my PC configuration is as following
Intel i5 2500k
Gigabyte Z68AP
Zotac GeForce GTX 560 Ti AMP Edition
Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 600W PSU
Cosair 4GB DDR3 x 2
AOC e2043 20'
Plus other normal accesories (Like Mouse, Keyboard, Gamepad)

And Numeric Digital 600 Plus UPS.

Whenever I play games like Battlefield 3 on ultra or high settings OR NFS Run on High settings the UPS starts alarming and after sometime switches off.

I have taken UPS for repair, but they are saying no fault with my UPS.

Maybe I need to update my UPS? I have connected my CPU+Monitor directly to power without UPS without problem but cant do it for long time due to frequent power cuts.

So is it still UPS fault and what UPS can anyone suggest me??

Your UPS doesn't have enough muscle to handle your PC..

Get APC RS1100 ~ 4.6K..

U dint said whether ur UPS starts alarming during the regular power supply or during load-shedding, power cuts..:|
anyways.. seeing ur configuration, its certain ur UPS is not upto the level of other components..
the cheapest and best brand for ur configuration will be APC..:wink:

When I'm on desktop it works fine. Whenever I play games like Battlefield 3/ NFS Run on ultra or high settings UPS starts alarming and after sometime switches off.

Looks like I'll have to buy APC RS1100. On ebay india it costs 5k.

Be aware of your PSU too.
