Hello, I'm using my PC with an extension cord instead of connecting directly to the wall outlet. My family connected another extension cord from the same outlet where they place two fans and a laptop or phone charger. My PC has most of its USB ports and back panel ports used, but after rearranging the cables, I noticed that plugging devices into the second extension cord still caused audio issues and even slowed down my PC. I tried connecting the second extension cord directly to the wall socket, but it didn't solve the problem. Could anyone explain why this happens and suggest a fix?

Additional details: My power supply is rated at 650W bronze, and my PC shouldn't exceed 400W usage. The first extension cord lists 2000VA, which seems outdated. If you have more useful info, please share.
