Problem with computers and electricity, need help!

[spikesot]

Hi, I wanted to comment a problem that has caused me problems over 2 years.

The problem is that I have 3 different computers, and tried one by one, and when are connected to electricity the computer slow down for a random period of time (the slow downs or delay comes better at mornings, at nights computer normally works better) causing my mouse and keyboard delay and slow-down too, really annoying.

I tried 3 different computers and same problem on them, it happens too with Play Station 3 and XBOX 360. I studied computing and i know that this problem is not related to the computers, the only thing that can be is an electricity problem on my house, but don´t know how to solve that... maybe harmonics?.

If anyone has any solution please I would be very grateful, thank you very much.

I'm no expert, What is your broadband speed in your area? Might be heavy demand for computers in your area at the same time, hence slower speeds. I'm not too sure re your theory. You could try installing a dedicated clean circuit just for the IT equipment.

Probably just lumpy electric.

I tried without connecting the Ethernet Cable (without internet) and the problem continues, so it´s not the internet conecction.

What do you mean about installing a dedicated clean circuit?

And what should be the solution if its lumpy electricity?

more likely a broadband issue,electrical problems,surges, spikes,volt drop usually just cause computers to crash.

I tried without Broabdand connected to computer (without inet), and have the same problem.

This is as above unlikely to be Electricity supply related, when was the last time you cleaned your hard-drive using your virus protection suite, and if you know any computer geeks just ask them to clear some of the unwanted junk running in the back ground.

How full is your hard drive and go online and do a free speed test with your provider to see how fast your Broadband is.

Tried with 3 different computers formatting like 4 times on each computer. Tested speed online and its ok.

When in doubt, format and re-install windows.

I have format 3 times with each computer and same problem, and same problem with ps3 and xbox too.

check ram and benchmark pc
this will check stability.

if your ram has problems it will slowly corrupt your hdd and cause random bsod

memtest86+ is the best tool to check ram for errors

That needs correcting

When in doubt, format and install Linux

Given the OP's location is Zaragoza but he doesn't narrow it down any closer by telling us which country I wouldn't like to speculate on what is causing his problems

 

[spikesot]

Okey, the thing is that i tried formatting 3 or 4 times with each computer and same problem, and its not a problem related with computer cause on ps3 or xbox im having the same problem.

Try running the computer through a UPS. Might clean the mains supply.

It's already being cleaned through various PSU's in the devices, frequency fluctuations and voltage drop rise will not impact their speed. If they get bad enough the device would simply break/switch off rather than slowing down.

Spain is the country.

Info which would have been better placed in your opening post, instead of sending us on a wild goose chase ... when you say your PS3 and XBOX are they been played online?... its all starting to sound like a slow network connection, you power supply is filtered by these computers etc to soften small variations ... larger ones will either blow your power packs or the computers will power off with low voltage.

If you see the opening post you will see that i wrote that. Yes, my PS3 and XBOX are connected to the Internet, but this makes no sense, its not "lag" or high ping (because the ping is ok), is about mouse, keyboard and dualshock delay when moving or shooting on any game or simillar.
