Powerbook freezes when near to electrical cable?

Have the AC wiring in your office checked.

Because my Powerbook Titanium G4 is freezing randomly, but it seems to happen more often when near to PC computers... (No, it's not a joke).

After a couple of freezes and restarts, it makes three beeps at boot, then a strange noise, and I have to reset it from the back.

That is at the office. However, when I use it at home it works just fine all the time, never freezes. So I've discarded peripherals, network conflicts, or memory...

One more thing. If I start it up and leave it untouched, it won't freeze. It happens after I move the mouse or press keys for a while.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks.

Is it on a metal desktop that is grounded or not?

Are you missing the little rubber feet?

If you are in a cubicle and the wiring is in the cubicle itself, well, if it's got a problem, I have seen electrified cubicle walls. Usually due to poor installation.
