I have an HTPC down in my basement workshop, where it is plugged into a relatively expensive surge protector along with several other electronics (e.g., Synology NAS, router, modem, cable box), and has been for roughly 3 years.
Very recently I noticed that the power for the entire circuit to which it belongs would briefly flicker, causing the computer/NAS/etc to shut down. It does not trip the breaker, however. The power simply flickers, shutting off any device with a power button. This has happened 5-6 times in the past week.
Could this be caused by my PSU (which I know isn't the greatest)? Could the surge protector going bad somehow cause this? I am at a loss, but am desperate to fix this issue.
Here's my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ryams27/saved/#view=tPwV3C
The surge protector is a Belkin home theater surge protector that I've had for 3-4 years. I don't know the model off-hand but it was roughly $60 and was supposed to be good.
