Hello, your new PC has been functioning well overall, but it experiences power issues during demanding games like Monster Hunter World or COD Cold War. The breaker trips and the room loses power. It seems the problem might be with the power supply unit or a related component. You bought a surge protector from Amazon in the hopes of fixing it, but it didn’t resolve the issue. Here are your specs: CPU – Intel Core i5-10400F, GPU – RTX 3060, 12GB RAM, 16GB DDR4, motherboard ASUS B640M (model unclear), PSU – Thermaltake SMART 600W 80+ Gold, and a surge protector link provided. If you have more details to share, feel free to let me know.

Check for minor issues in the socket connections and see if testing elsewhere resolves the problem.

It could take some time since I'll have to rearrange many items, but I can try another port.

Other components are also present on that same circuit.

When the breaker fell, my monitor was still connected to that circuit, though I’m not sure that’s the problem. Once it occurred, I switched my monitor to the surge protector on my PC and haven’t made any further changes since.

Alternatively, there might be another area involved, though I’m not sure why I mentioned the same space. It’s possible something else is contributing.

It seems like only a few devices are connected to the outlets, aside from the ONT box you mentioned.

No other items in your home react when the circuit breaks or is turned off.

The room wasn't the sole focus of that setup.

I haven’t looked elsewhere in the house during that time, though I understand the Wi-Fi might stop because the router is also turned off.
