I'm new to the use of UPS's so this may be normal. What happens is I will be playing a game when suddenly I'm kicked out to what I presume is standby mode. The UPS beeps once when this happens and I can continue doing what I was by maximizing the game. It did this once when I actually saw the power flicker and another time when the I didn't see anything else dim. I can manually unplug the power to the UPS and the PC continues on without anything happening including the standby thing which is what confuses me. I had thought I was set up to continue without interuptions which the unplugging demonstrates but the other action is the one I dont understand. Anyone with any ideas or explanations?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
UPS with curious behaviour?

Under-sized UPS, probably. Exactly what UPS do you have?

Did you install the APC software?

Appears it might be caused by having the interface cable attached and not running the APC software, seems like a bug they should fix considering windows can use the interface to monitor the battery charge for its built in software. This could of course be a windows or APC problem.
