Power strip.
What about not being grounded? Hardly any of the outlets in our house are.

Well that's not good but probably would cause an issue from the start if it were one. Anything new on that strip? Anything new on that circuit as a whole? How old is the strip?
Ginsu Victim:
Strip is a few years old. The same things that are normally on it are on it. My last computer ran fine on it.

That doesn't mean much unless you have a $100 power strip. Cheap power strips age badly. It is probably worth taking the 90 seconds to swap it out just to be sure.
Ginsu Victim:
Well, it wasn't a cheapie (it does have some surge protection), but it's worth a shot.
