How many wall power sockets are you using for your entertainment setup? You may just be pulling too much juice from the wall which could be causing you problems.

Hmm, that could be an idea.  I have everything plugged into two surge protectors coming from one socket.  I'm sure I can find a surge protector with a longer cord and I can probably move things to another socket.

The only odd thing is I've had it set up like that for about two years and haven't had a problem.

this shouldn't be an issue. If you pull too much power you'll just pop a circuit. Even if you switch outlets, you need to make sure it is on a seperate circuit or you did nothing.

I assumed it wasn't but I don't like having 10 things plugged into one outlet anyways so I took the opportunity to get another surge protector and spread things out amongst two different wall outlets.  :-p

In my defense at least no more than 3-4 things were ever on at a time (depending what activity I was going) but it still wasn't the best of ideas. >_>
