Computer Problems - HP Pavilion (monitors, click, memory, settings)

Try running it on an outlet that is on a different electrical circuit! You should do it just to rule it out. I had that problem here in this house. It does this at your house, but not at the shop...the difference is only the electrical circuit.

Is it a local private shop or a retail store shop?

It's a local shop, but they have three locations.

I'll have to run an extension cord from outlet behind the couch, which is the only one that I can get to. I moved from 1 1/2 bedrooms (rent was too high) to a studio, and my space is very limited. I'm waiting for a 1bedroom to open up where I live now.

I'll try that and see if it works, and will report back to see what happens.

The kitchen maybe?

Is there a surge protector between the outlet and the computer?

I have two extra extension cords and two power strips, and that wouldn't reach into the kitchen. It's easier to go behind the couch, and it's on a different wall.

My space is very limited, so I have to bear with what I have, until a larger place comes open so that I can move into it.

Yes. I have a surge protector, but in order to try a different outlet, I'll have to use an extension cord, because it won't reach.

I'll try it and see what happens. If it turns out that the problem is the outlet that it's currently on, I'll notify my property manager of the problem, and also buy more surge protectors.
