You didn't complete the explanation, but I'm reminded that after I got my new 
tower PC, I had to move my paper shredder; too close t the PC and it acted as 
an EMP whenever it came on suddenly.  I'm  guessing that's what was happening 
here?

I had my son build me that tower.  Maybe a store-bought model would have had 
better shielding.

Reminds me of a true story where very randomly our terminals would go offline 
and then come back after a minute or two. We would check the controller and 
everything looked fine. Then one day, someone got a Coke out of the soda 
machine while we were standing there trying to figure things out. The 
controller lost power, however briefly, and IML'd itself.  The next day, the 
controller had been moved elsewhere. 😊
