1412516 2015-12-08 23:41:00 I have an older Acer desktop, not my main desktop, that causes grief when ever I turn it on. Unlike my other PCs, this one creates static noise on the radios, doesn't effect TVs. I have no idea as to where to start to locate the problem, other than not using radios. I assume that the problem could be an earth grounding but then again? Any ideas please? Bryan (147)

An earthed metal case should block most of it, unless it's plastic? You can also try using those ferrite chokes on the power cable or any other cable that might be producing noise. I confess I've largely ignored those things but they do actually work if you use them.en.wikipedia.org

I always thought they were for making it harder to feed cables through small holes.

If AM, the computer may have a noisy PSU
My parents had an old PC years ago that transmitted squealing static through the house wiring, affected the neighbours too, fixed it by fitting a filter/choke in the supply from the wall socket.
Or you could fit another power supply unit.
