Yes, it's definitely useful in your case. You just need one powerful enough for your PC and monitor. Just connect the UPS outlets to them, and leave everything else (especially laser printers) connected to the wall.

Why don't you make a call to TNB to report the issue? The place where I stay only blackout once several year (planned maintenance no count). How I know? I have a device that will not auto restart if there is any power failure.

For now UPS seems like a best workaround.

Having a UPS helps in reporting the issue, if you connect it to your PC and log the power outage occurrences.

Years ago in Australia, my building voltage was too high and kept tripping my UPS alarm. I emailed the state's electricity grid with my logfile. Got a call back from them and within a week they rectified the problem.
