Why does my desktop shut down when i plug something into the same multioutlet that the desktop is plugged into?
I have a 400w hps light plugged to the wall and in the second socket i have a multioutlet with the pc and monitor, a speaker system, a clock, and a bare light socket with a 23w cfl plugged in.
When ever i unplug the light and plug it in a few hours later it shuts down this computer immediately.
I did have a hot gluegun short out a while ago in the same outlet which took out my laptop charger
but my ballast thankfully survived.
What's going on here?
It's the 23w that shuts it down, not the 400w but i don't know if the 400w being here is bad for the ballast.

The HPS ballast is causing a spike/surge. You really should run it on its own circuit.
