Sounds like you've got too much stuff on 1 circuit. Check your breaker box, or call a friend who knows more about electric. That popping sound you're hearing is circuit overload - not a good thing at all. You may have to move the PC or some other electrical appliance to a different location or different circuit. If I were closer I'd pop over and run you a new dedicated circuit for you rig, but like I said - call a friend first, electricians are not cheap.
