well I got a new build together.
basically:
i7-920
gigabyte ex-58-ud5 mobo
antec 80+ 620watt
2 x evga 9800gtx graphics in SLI

This house is built in 2004, so I'm guessing these bedrooms have afci breakers. (as it is required in 2002) I have no knowledge of breakers though besides that the afci protect from fire, when gfci protect from shocks. But this build trips the ciruit breaker when hooked up to the bedrooms. After 2-6 tries of it tripping and switching it back on, the computer does turn on. When it is on however there is no problem. The computer itself works good in the living room or any other room for that matter.


the top two left one is for the bedrooms. They have no label on it besides 20 and the test button that works. One is for all the outlets in 2 bedrooms (Only one bedroom is being used) including the hallway, while the second one is for the master bedroom. The computer trips in both rooms.

I don't really want to change the power supply, but even if I do I have no clue what is compatible. Also I have no clue if there is a certain brand of afci circuit breakers that don't have this problem.

any recommendation or information?

Thanks in advance.

oh yea it is plugged in directly for the wall. No surge protector, or UPS Battery yet. (Although I should get one)

I was going to suggest a ups. It should condition the line for spikes. When dealing with afci its looking for surges or spikes in the line that caus it to trip. A good "filtered" power strip should do the trick also.
