sounds like your surge protector is bad and over amping your PSU

Most likely caused from brown outs... do your lights dim alot in your house when you turn on a tv or things like that??

only thing that could resolve this is a battery backup which would keep the current stable. a surge surpressor will not protect you against brown outs
