Hey guys, (Sorry If this is placed in the wrong section, I had no idea were to post it)

So I've been having a weird issue the past few days. I have a system that I built up into a milk crate which I used for Bitcoin mining, I relocated the machine into my shed and built a self to put it on.

Since moving the system, when I remote in and start the machine mining it causes some TV channels to start artifact/Snow flake with choppy audio. When I stop the mining the channels go back to normal.

What I've tried:
I've made sure there is a good meter between the TV aerial and the Ethernet cable running through the roof and also made sure no cables were overlapping each other.

Out of curiosity I wanted to check if it was the data going through the Ethernet, so I started moving large files around locally and started downloading from the internet, this caused no problems. So I then stressed the PC out, Furmark, Prime etc. to see if it was power draw etc, that had no problems either.

Does anyone have an clue with whats going on?
anything is helpful at this point as I have no clue anymore.

Thankyou.

How about putting the computer (if it is a computer) into a metal case (like computer case), which is grounded and behaves as a Faraday cage...


Was never a problem until I moved it. The exact system in the crate ran in my room for about 6 months.

try turning the crate so its facing another direction or sliding over a foot.
RF is funny like that.
The faraday cage is an excellent suggestion. You can even make one out of old metal screen material, aluminum foil....

Well, I rotated it around 90 degrees and decided chuck a back side panel under it. So far no issues, which this confuses the fuck out of me. But none the less it is working.
