I could see a power fluctuation causing a reboot, but to trigger a GSOD is bizarre. The GSOD is totally strange. I could see a power fluctuation causing a reboot, but to trigger a GSOD is bizarre.

I have one of these and CyberPower units and mine has two problems.1) Use of the coax protection made several of my cable channels unviewable (either blank or highly pixelated). I had to call for a visit from the dreaded Comcast field person (something I otherwise avoid like the plague), who revealed that the CyberPower device's grounding was causing the problem. All has been well since I stopped using this "feature."2) Everytime I touch the CyberPower unit (mostly when I need to unplug and reboot the wireless router and cable modem) I get the "green screen of death" on my Tivo. It says that it might take up to 3 hours to repair, but each time it has only taken about 20 for my functionality to return.I believe this CyberPower UPS is defective and I will be returning it for replacement.
