How odd ... #1

This morning I was working at my PC editing the questionnaire of one the exams I'm giving tomorrow, there was a voltage fluctuation. To my surprise, the monitor of my PC just went blank. Then I noticed that the LED light on the casing of my PC had stopped flickering. My PC had shut down!

This was highly unexpected because my PC is plugged into a uninterrupted power supply unit. Normally, if there was a power outage, the UPS battery would kick in and provide backup power for at least 15 minutes. This is sufficient time for me to close all applications and shut down my PC properly. But that didn't happen at all this time around. It must be that the battery needs changing or something. How odd.

I'll have to consult our technician within the next week or so. I can't risk losing documents after working on them for a long time. Thankfully most word processing software have this feature that recovers unsaved documents.
