I'm with Shawshank on the outlet problem - even if the power outlet has nothing to do with your PC shutting off, it's advisable to minimise the number of appliances plugged into one socket, the TV especially, which pulls alot of juice from the mains supply. You're in danger of overloading the socket. If you're using a multi plug adaptor to plug several appliances in, the worst that'll happen is that the fuse on the strip might blow, but even so...
