A device for making sure enough power is supplied?

Hello,

My computer's been automatically restarting 0-6 times a day for the past 4 months, and the company who covers the tech support under my warranty, who had it at their shop for a month without getting a single restart, suggested I try a different power source. I have it downstairs in my house right now, just to test that theory, and it hasn't restarted yet, but I need it upstairs anyway, in the end.

My question is: is there a device I can purchase that makes sure enough power is supplied to the computer at all times? Such as some kind of power backup or something which connects to the wall outlet, then I connect just the power cable for the computer into the device, and the device delivers constant power to the computer, through some kind of combination of outlet power and charged-up backup power? (if that makes sense) Maybe it’s called a ‘power supply’ or something, but I’m just trying to be sure I know enough before I buy it, as I’m not very computer-savvy.

Thanks,
Andrew
 
sure is man, but i would first try to unplug some other things in the same room as the pc (if you can) or if nothing else make sure the pc and monitor are the only things plugged into that outlet. if that doesnt work then this link has a bunch of the "UPS- Uninteruptable Power Supply"
