Babydoll and I recently replaced our surge protectors (well, my new one is sitting 'near' my system at least lol) because she was having to turn hers off and then back on in order to get rid of a PC gremlin that was messing up her stability. However, since you have already tried plugging in direct to the wall and still had trouble, we've pretty much ruled that issue out for you. My preference for power supplies is PC Power & Cooling, but they are not the only ones that make really good power supplies. http://www.pcpower.com/index.html I normally purchase them through Newegg, but I also use other online stores if the price differential is significant enough.
