Absolutely had a similar problem when we moved in (Tamarind Grove area) 3 weeks ago. Everytime I hit the start up button on my computer it blew the fuse - 3 electrician vists, changing the outlet; changing the sensor on the outside light in the yard.....yada, yada. Finally it blew the computer. We did test it in another bedroom, no prob for 2 days. Then, put it back in original bedroom where problem was and blew it again. So, back in the second bedroom that worked fine for two days and it blew that room too! I about pulled my hair out. End result is we tested a hair dryer in the outlet of the problem room and it worked fine. I ended up with a laptop and so far so good.........will be getting a printer so that will be a test. Let us know how you make out, I'd be very interested to hear.
