How do you measure it?
Hola Carlos
I'm using one of these:

Ah, yes. I'd prefer a data sheet in English (or Spanish), but I get the idea. :-) What I'm looking for, and probably the manufacturer doesn't say much, is how well they measure spikes, and what about "reactive power" and "switch mode" power loads. A PC uses a switch mode power supply, quite big, taking power in a strange waveform, and this may confuse heavily cheap meters (and not so cheap). Difficult to say. A definitive test, in your case, would be to connect a scope on the +5 and +12 rails (perhaps 3.2? line). A spike going down in the +5 would provoke an instant reset. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
