Question:

my computer freezes when i run the vacuum cleaner under my desk...?

ok so i was cleanin my room today. i ran the sweeper under my desk and my comp froze and crashed and the screen looked like a video game when it crashes. and i rebooted it and it was fine. and i ran the sweeper under my desk again and same thing happened. but its fine when i'm not running the cleaner under my desk. wtf does that mean? do vacuum cleaners emit somekinda fequency that comps just dnt like? it never happened at my old house and when i had win XP. i have win 7 now.

Answer:

did you check your plugs? makesure all are plugged in right or you might have a bad wall socket,a loose wire or ?move computer away from desk and try again
the power supply is not work well. change a large one.
There's probably a loose cord inside your computer, open it up and make sure all the wires are tight. The vacum cleaner is probably causing vibration under the desk and shaking everything around. Also, check to make sure that it's not just the monitor wire coming loose.
I was going to say the same thing that Jim said. The vacuum cleaner is pulling too much current from the outlet, starving the computer for power, causing the shut downs. The system memory is probably losing power, and because computer memory is Volatile Memory, whenever power is removed, whatever data it is storing is lost.

You may be pulling close to 20 total amps on the circuit. The static electricity also may be jumping to wires. Its called signal jump. To much power in the motor of the vacuum cleaner can create a huge electric field which could overwhelm your components in the computer. Shut the computer OFF when vacuuming.
