In our home, there is a mechanic who often uses a welding plant. When he uses it, I think we get a power surge. My UPS ticks madly (not beep, it ticks). Sometimes, I even lose power to the keyboard. When typing, some keys get missing.
My question is, is it good for the computer? The UPS claimed to have surge protection. But isn't it working? What should I do to protect my PC?
The second question is, I also have a broadband router which is not connected to the UPS. Will it be effected?
I just noticed that I'm using a Belkin surge protector. Isn't that enough?

@EApubs: A surge protector cannot "fill in" a drop in voltage caused by an arc-welder drawing excess current. You probably need a good high-capacity on-line UPS for that.
