I have an Iyo panther, getting on for 3 years old, and I run this and the monitor via a UPS. Today has brought some alarming experiences.
1) First thing this morning the computer wouldn't start; I discovered that the UPS mains light wasn't on, and pressing its on button made all work.
2) When I left the machine untended for a while I then discovered that it had somehow turned itself off. Again the UPS mains light had gone out, and pressing the on button again got things going again.
This seems to me to be a problem with the UPS rather than the Iyo's power supply; does this seem likely to you experts? 

TIA,

With best wishes,

Peter.
If the UPS has been powering the Iyonix and Monitor for some time, then the Sealed Lead Acid Batteries have most likely reached the end of their service life. The load is possibly tripping it out, causing the UPS to switch off. It's usually possible to strip the UPS down and replace the batteries, but if your not too happy about taking it apart, then I can only suggest a replacement. 

Best of Luck,

Allan.
