Budget 51-70k PC more than good enough for most use cases like editing, moderate gaming, programing

before it was used in an office setup. I'm using it for 6 months or so for a chromebook altered mini pc with win 11. I dont remember this happening then. But I used it sparingly.

I'm not sure if putting an AVR before the UPS is a good idea.

That plug is not avr, it is basically a cut-off switch where if voltage falls below min or exceed max level then it simply turns off until voltage drops within the expected range. A true AVR corrects this by reducing max voltage or boosting low voltage to maintain a good range voltage output.

No that is different, it is a traditional surge protector.

Get something like this

Easiest way to check if your PSU is correctly working, and supplying clean power.

Although, lying idle for 10 years, doesn't sound ideal.

I bought this to check my old Corsair hx620 and it shows all other lights other than 5v light. Then I used it to check my previously working i3 PC's power supply. Again 5 v light not turning on. Then I thought device itself not working and asked for a replacement from Amazon.

Now the bad part is that working i3 system is not turning on. I didn't turn on the system that day. But today when I tried it's not turning on. Previously it had issue with power button getting stuck on that pc.

-5v no idea what these represents

Ignore it, as long as +5v & 5vsb led are on then it is fine. Actually, I don't suggest such psu testers anyway. The best way to check a psu is by actually using it to boot a confirmed working motherboard with processor installed.
 
So that also means my old corsair smps could still be working. strange then why i3 pc is not working now. Got to test it out and sell it. I got a quite a few items to sell. Even I made the pics of i3 pc 2 months back and then didn't follow through. Is fb market place good, as these are bulky and fragile items (including laptop) which I need to be careful couriering it. what do you guys generally prefer? How to make the shipping safe?

i3 pc is working now. Looks like power button is the culprit. Is it possible to change/repair that. Foxinn cabinet

Also how much can I ask for a pc for the attached configuration. Optical drive not working.

Assembled. I think i3 was quite expensive then around 8000, mobo changed 2 years back to power x brand around 3.5 to 4k, ssd around 2.5k, gfx I bought during covid around 6k :( , ram I don't remember, case around 1400 with or without power supply.
 
Issue with ups seems to be solved. Recently router changed to where ups is connected but instead of connecting router to ups. It was connected to the wall socket with a adapter along with ups. As soon this adapter is removed and ups is connected directly to wall socket and router to plugged into ups no more loud sound and ups turning off.
