The house is a new build and less than 10 years old so will get that checked.

The person who built the PC should be able to tell you!Tower is Antec nsk 3100 but without taking the unit apart I have no idea which psu is fitted.
Remove any extension block or surge protectors and plug the unit directly into the wall. If the issue goes away, the Belkin/surge protector is the problem.he tower unit is plugged directly into a double wall socket and and a Belkin extension block which is surge protected
Not the first time I've had loose wiring on new build houses.... House builders don't spend a lot of time on checking!The tower unit is plugged directly into a double wall socket and and a Belkin extension block which is surge protected for the other equipment.
If the house wiring is causing the computer to drop out that often, I think I would rather fix the house wiring before it causes a fire.Personally, I would purchase a decent UPS unit. I use APC with a digital display and PowerChute software. It provides protection from power surges and also detects fluctuations in the power source, which if significant, are recorded by the PowerChute software. So, my opinion is, having a UPS is a good idea and using provided software will help in diagnosing if the power source is unstable.
In my case it's a problem with an unreliable rural electrical coop. I have regular brownouts and frequent total dropouts. Without my reliable APC UPS, I too would be having frequent crashes and restarts. YMMVIf the house wiring is causing the computer to drop out that often, I think I would rather fix the house wiring before it causes a fire.
"having a UPS is a good idea and using provided software will help in diagnosing if the power source is unstable." I suggested the UPS, as stated in my post, to provide a possible tool in diagnosing the problem. Electricians can do the same and more extensive research and most likely at a more significant cost. My suggestion was to have a piece of equipment to protect the system and possibly help in diagnosing the problem.If the house wiring is causing the computer to drop out that often, I think I would rather fix the house wiring before it causes a fire.
As others have been indicating, this could be a PSU problem. I seriously doubt a peripheral (mouse, keyboard, printer, etc.) would cause this problem. This sounds like a hardware problem, and the only way to check parts is to crack open your computer.and my only other thought is if the pc builder used the psu from the old machine.

I used to live in an area that had the same thing. I'm happy to say I no longer have those issues since I moved to Arkansas to be near my daughter.In my case it's a problem with an unreliable rural electrical coop.

Don't check Ohms/resistance on live circuits, it's only used for checking continuity, has it's own battery power supply.Use a multi metre to check volts, amps and ohms
It does make a nice puff of smoke from the multimeter, though!Don't check Ohms/resistance on live circuits, it's only used for checking continuity, has it's own battery power supply.
Might even say immediately.It does make a nice puff of smoke from the multimeter, though!
