Even though you have a well grounded surge protector, you might still have a ground problem. I had to have an electrician "fix" the wiring to my office where our computer is located. Whoever wired the room never properly connected the ground wire. I did not hire him to do just this simple problem, we live in a big, old house and we have a lot of electrical problems. If the well grounded surge protector is plugged into a wall receptacle that is not grounded, you get a "floating" ground situation that causes problems and noise for some electrical equipment. In some situations, like a thunder storm, this could cause damage.
