This sort of behaviour is often caused by serious spikes on the mains supply. Have you got a decent power line filter, imho essential for any computer on a circuit also used by rotating machinery? Perhaps there is a sewing machine, or what have you like a fridge or freezer, which has a stuffed RFI suppressor nearby? Carting around a portable AM radio is a simple way to find sources of RFI. -- CS
