RE: Interference

Whats next door?

Might seem like a daft question, but I once worked in an office next to
a warehouse.

One corner of our office was unuseable because directly through the wall
in the warehouse was the point where they plugged in and recharged the
forklifts, and their recharging caused massive interference on the PC
screens.

Hi All,

Wondered if anyone here had some idea or could point me in the
right
direction of a weird problem we've been having.

For a while now, someone at work has had a pc in their office on
which
the monitor screen flickered a lot, as if it was getting
interference.

We put this down to a dodgy monitor, (it was 4 years old
anyway), so we
replaced it.  Didn't fix the problem.
We replaced the graphics card, didn't fix it either.  It got us
thinking
it might not be the PC, so we moved the pc into another office
and the
interference stopped instantly.  We moved another machine in
there that
was brand new and it started flickering straight away.

We've switched off all other equipment in the room, (including
the
lights), and it still keeps going.  We think it might be the
electrical
cables under the floor as theres a fair pile there, but this is
where
we're stuck as we don't have the ability to try and track the
offending
cable (or other source) down.

We had an electrician take a look at the cabling underneath, and
he
rerouted some of it away, but he couldn't find anything wrong
and it
didn't help it.

Any ideas or help on how we could figure this out would be most
appreciated, as its making it hard to work in that office.

Regards,

Tony.
