I know nothing about hardware and
I have no idea if I used UPS at the tournament.

I only brought the computer without connections and maybe it was a mistake and
it was better to bring all the components that connect it because maybe the
problem was in some connection in the tournament that simply does not work with
the AMD and works correctly with the PIV.

I suspected it may be the problem but the person who helped me told me that it
cannot be the problem.
