Have you thought about a line conditioner or power conditioner? I use these
in my studio for everything. Isolates your gear.

Is this different thing than a UPS? I thought of UPS but I'm not sure 
wether it helps, because I don't have any understanding about these 
electric things...

Part of what a UPS does is power conditioning. It also
normally gives a minimal amount of power during an
electrical outage, enough time to save and shutdown
equipment properly. It aslo provides excellent surge
protection in the event of peaks that would normally
break equipment. Setting up a UPS would be the best
way to solve your issue.
