i suppose it's a sensitivity bug with the board...seems that it's somehow just too darn sensitive to any kind of fluctation, and it can be really annoying!
any ideas how to fix somethin like that? or what can it be related to, bad PSU quality? (it's a 420w chieftec)

btw, it's my first post here, though i've been reading for over a year now...so hi everybody
It could be grounding problem.
look inside the switch and see if the ground wire is attatched to the outlet.
also use a power surge unit, exclusivley used for PC, monitor, speakers, etc.
