It seems you have another problem unrelated, since other
people don't have these problems. Perhaps a bad battery
and/or either poor quality junk PSU or the PSU is simply
defective or otherwise failed.

Makes me wonder about dirty mains power, either undervoltage or spikes
etc...

A double conversion UPS would solve that. Good if you're living
in the country, on the end of a long transmission line.

Although, in the case of PSUs popping, I'd also want to measure
the DC load presented by the computer, just in case there is a
problem with something other than the power supply.
