Hello guys, I really didnt know where else to post this, sorry if its the wrong place. First of all, heres the evidence:



Hear those clicks?, thats my surge protector going crazy. Only happens when I am on the Heroes of the Storm home screens, when there is lots of smoke for some reason. Also while in those screens, GPU usage goes up to 80%+ and also power, as you can see.

Does anyone what exactly is going on?, Because I really have no idea.

My build is:

- i5 6500
- MSI GTX 960 2GB
- Seasonic PSU G series 550w semi modular

If any other info is needed please let me know.

Thanks in advance.


EDIT: It also happens with other games as well, I just ran The Witcher 3 for a couple of seconds and it went crazy instantly.

Have you tried another surge protector? I know I had that took me while to find where the noise was coming from as I thought a had some insect or mouse in the area as it sounded to me like scratching. After narrow it down to the strip I replaced it and noise went away. Later I was to disassemble the strip and found it was bad contacts between the circuit board and rails for the plug sockets.
