HP 800VA UPS Problem?

Hai,

I have a HP 800VA UPS which I have recently changed its battery with a new one with 2 years warranty. While using Windows 7 SP1 x64 it does not give any backup even when browsing internet but when I am using Windows 8/8.1 Pro x64 even while in the middle of a FPS game like BF4 my UPS is giving me backup of around 4 minutes.Why is that? I truly cannot understand why my UPS cannot give backup while using Windows 7. I am not even using any software to control my UPS such as the APC have.I have a software for my HP 800VA which came bundled with it but it does not support Windows 8/8.1 but it supports Windows 7. Presently my UPS model is a discontinued one in the market as well as in the HP website so it does not provide any updated software for Windows 8/8.1. I am very much worried regarding this issue.Please provide me any suggestions.Help me...

PS: I lost the cable that connects my UPS to my PC USB back ports.

Thanks & Regards,
bavusani

i cant really understand any correlation about the effect of ups battery back up with the os installed.
one solution is to keep windows 8/8.1 for now.
better check the ups on any other system which has windows 7 installed.
