your house has to much power draw. you cant fix it without hiring a licensed electrician, you can only turn other stuff off then turn on your computer. FYI if your that close to your limit is not really a good thing

Are you saying that the main breaker in the circuit breaker panel is getting tripped when you turn on your PC? If so, that is a pretty serious situation. If is is just an individual breaker circuit, then you need to figure out which outlets are on that circuit, and as said above, balance out the load by unplugging other devices on that same circuit. I made a schematic of my entire house by plugging a radio into each wall socket, and flipping off various circuit breakers, listening to when the radio quit playing. Also did the same turning on various light switches and flipping the breakers one by one. Took about a day to do, but I have two 100 amp breaker panels completely full.

Then either A) there are too many things on that circuit you are sharing with the computer OR B) the PSU is actually causing a short.
You can test the first and second case by plugging the computer in to another entirely different circuit and see if it happens again. If it trips the breaker on the different circuit, you have a PSU problem, if it doesn't you have an overloaded circuit where it was originally plugged in.

Normally in Sweden the lowest circuit breakers are 10A. With 240V current you should be able to power 2400W on that circuit. Either you are wrong about using that circuit alone for the computer, or you have a serious problem.
Also note that your home insurance may not be valid under those circumstances, if there should be a fire caused by faulty or illegal electrical cabeling.
