Is installing an uninterruptible power supply an option for preventing data loss to power outages?

If you having a power outage, you can do one of two things, depending on the condition. If it's just the computer that's going out, it may be that the CPU is overheating, and you need to see if the CPU fan is compatible with the CPU. If it is a power outage in the entire house, you may want to replace your current hard drive with one that will periodically back up your current session. Unfortunately, installing an uninterruptible power supply won't help much; the power supply doesn't create the power, it just converts the electricity into something that the computer can use. So if there is no electricity, the power supply has nothing to convert. Hope this helps! SeanHolshouser

What protects your computer from pulses of higher-than-normal electric voltage?

In theory the PSU (Power Supply Unit) of your computer is supposed to have a fail safe mechanism built in which in layman's terms "blows a fuse" if too much current OR voltage enters the system. This essentially allows the PSU to sacrifice itself to stop the power fluctuation from hurting the rest of the computer! In practice however, (especially in laptops) this mechanism rarely works and you'd be crazy not to have your computer hooked into a power bar with a surge protector.
