My lights have been flashing a bit but not enough for pc to be affected. Hope my surge protector will help if it does go off.
If its knackering your pc though would you not be better with it off?

It's one of those things; you get a couple of 'offs' for a minute then it's fine for an hour, so you go on line again, and 'blip' there it goes again - I've got surge protection etc, so really it's just a bleeding nuisance. I've got a 2.7kva generator (with Isolator mains switch etc) if it's going down for a long time, which has been very handy in the past..

so far ok, might be the problem they are having further 'down the line'..

It's getting a wee bit silly here now, keeps going off every few minutes.
I never knew I had so many things that bleeped and pinged when the went on and off.

We had 9 quick ones over a couple of hours, starting at about the time you first posted.

I'm just around the corner, spect it's the same line. Although by the looks of it the whole of Caithness and much of Sutherland is having problems..

Can't say we have had any problems here. So must have been one of the lucky ones.;)
