[QUOTE="mafocari, post: 1901130, member: 407922"] You know, I realized something else was going on with another computer in the room that I thought was just me walking too hard or sitting down too hard or bumping something too hard to wake up the computer (through inadvertent mouse wiggle)... today I sit down, hear a loud electrical shock from my pants to the table, and not only does the second monitor blank out for a sec, but the other computer (plugged into a different wall socket) turns on before I even sit down... So! It seems like there may be a grounding issue in at least the wall outlet my work table is plugged into... that may also be affecting my other computer! That other computer I noticed recently (I actually haven't used it in months) had a blue screen "store" (storage?) crash... which could have happened from an electrical issue! So, now, I guess I need to file a work order to have the outlet(s) investigated for proper grounding... It's just so strange that it's only affecting the 2nd monitor and that computer behind me... I'm good with computers but I don't know that I'll never understand electrical 😆 [/QUOTE]
