[Gllug] Electrical interferense?

[Luke Hopkins]

This is the third time I've heard of this in the last few weeks. If it's
the same as the other times, your CPU and RAM will be reporting as far
below its actual values. If so, try moving the PC to somewhere else in
the house, and see if theres any difference.
