UPS for power regulation?

I agree with Seth. 
Make sure the computer power strip is not connected to the same circuit as 
some heavy equipment:
Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, Furnace. 
Each of these creates a spike. 

A good surge suppressor can help to regulate the line voltage, not the 
cheap ones you can buy for $10.
