My UPS just started beeping

Hi guys,
I was playing BF2 when my Trust 500va UPS started beeping (not the 1st time either). There was no way to turn it off, but once I stopped playing BF2 the beeping stopped.

I did a google and got the jist that the beeping is the UPS telling me it cant handle all the power needed for my PC to run effectively.

Is this true?

My rig is in my sig

You know 500VA is not equivalent to a 500W PSU, probably about 350W.

Would recommend a UPS over 750VA for your rig under full load

I was thinking the UPS is not powerful enough, when I bought it I never gave it a thought.
