My PC interferes with the radio! wtf?

[ComradeBadger]

Thread title says it all :hmph:

Rebuilt computer, doesn't quite work properly, and whenever I turn it on, the radio goes berserk. Any ideas?

Do you have the side panels off, or is the case made of plastic?

This reminds me of the way they sometimes used to test programs on the really old computers. They'd sit a radio on top of the box, run the program, and listen to the interference. Since the innards of those simple old machines worked the same way every time, they learned to identify the different sorts of interference that each programming construct made, and could use this to pinpoint the point of origin in the code of any bug...

Very nice, but no, my case is galvanised steel and perspex. Side panels on.

Found out what it was. The ring-network of plugs in my room is ****ed, nearly electrocuted myself today ;(

I say turn it into a weapon to disrupt all radios EVER.

Bah, that aint nothing. I can actually HEAR radio with my computer headphones!!! Its fun really... It doesnt happen that often though, so its not a very good radio. I think I need to attach an antenna
