Power Supply

[dexl]

Having problems with computer.
Everytime computer is turned on home radio goes crazy with noise. I was told that it is the computers power supply doing this.
Does anyone know of a fix or something I could buy to stop the noise.
It only affects my radio, nothing else and it happens everytime the computer is turned on.

Well, kinda of interesting. What brand PSU? Would it be EM interference? Can you stop it by moving the radio farther away from the pc and it's cables? Maybe try plugging the radio to different outlets too

You have an illegal computer. Seriously, it violates FCC regulation. Does your case have a window?

That's interesting. We have a communicator thing to talk back and forth between our garage and house, and it has two frequencies, A and B. When it's set to B frequency, and once I turn my computer on, the thing go nuts with static noise and such. The comm unit is fine on the A frequency. Does that mean I may have something illegal too?!? and what makes it illegal?

Oh well I'm currently doing research to build my first PC so I'll be done with this thing soon enough. I'll be posting more when I get closer to making a decision to make sure I'm doing it right

FCC says your computer can't interfere with TV or FM radio, not even in your own home. That's probably because they want you to have the ability to receive emergency broadcast.
