I doubt the power supply is the culprit. Most machines with one hard
drive and one cdrom should work fine on 250w supply, don't know about
dual processor. I never buy less than 300w.
I think your best bet is an UPS with built-in power conditioner. The
cheap ones just monitor the power and revert to battery when line
conditions are not right.
I once had a power problem, called the power co. to tell them the
transformer on the pole had a red light glowing, they told me that meant
the transformer had a problem and they would send someone to look at it.
Two years later I moved and the transformer still had that red light.
For those two years I had two cheap UPS that would beep at the same time
several times a day. So I say a power conditioner ahead of the UPS or
built-in is the best.
