What wireless devices do you run on your PC ??

[dvtimes]

is this stadered tv or digital/sky/cable?

are you 100% sure its your pc and not somone next door using a gadget of some sort?

There has got to be a wireless issue between them sureley? you running anything wireless on the TV, like those magic eyes or anything?

Would seriously consider your taste in women if your marrying a bird who likes Eastenders, or any soap when it comes to that....

my gaming pc is purely cabled, no wireless. Not sure if the tv has wireless tho? both of the power supplies crackle when both are in use... heres my post from another forum:

hi,

I just bought a panasonic plasma today and have had it set up and working for 5/6 hours now with no problem.

I then got a bit bored of tv, and went to play counter strike. However when I turned on my gaming PC my plasma started ticking / buzzing at the wall socket. I turned off the PC and it stopped.

My PC has been ticking for over a year now (enermax noisetaker (noisemaker would be a better fit!)) but I have ignored it - planning on sending it back tomorrow, if its still in warranty.

I have checked the power cable from the TV and the cable from my PC - replacing both doesnt solve the problem.

When the PC is on, turning the tv onto standby doesnt fix the buzz. Unplugging all the wires except power doesnt fix the buzz. Unplugging from the wall does fix the buzz.

I have two other PCs sat right next to my gaming PC (two run of the mill, slightly old Dell boxes) but my gaming PC is custom built but not overclocked. I have both dell's on right now and there is no interference on the TV at all.

I dont have a spare power supply juicey enough to test my gaming rig at the moment, but from what I have described, do you think replacing the PSU will solve me problem?

If not, what are the alternatives? I dont want to have to give up the TV!

Thanks


been told it may be the earthings on the tv or the pc. i presume its the tv as the plug socket is cracked. but then i have tried it on a different socket and the same thing happens :(

See!

I would say you have a problem with your wiring, if it only does it with the PC and not any other device make sure the PC is earthed properly.

Go to the pub instead?

I dont know whether this will help, or even if you already have it, but is there an anti surge protector on one of the mains lines (either tv or pc) but it sounds like the only thing in commen with the problem is the gaming pc power supply. Im not sure if the anti surge sockets will smooth out any fluctuaions in the power .. but at aboutt a tenner, its worth a stab .. and you can keep it on which ever you have it covered with after, so not really a waste after all.
If you do get it sussed, remember to let us geeks that are interested know how you fixed it (in case it happens to us too !!)
