Chuck,

IANAEB (I Am Not An Electrician, But) ... If just moving the 
unit from one place to another cured the trouble, I recommend 
very strongly that you call in a professional electrician: 
assuming your office has three-phase power, you probably have a 
miswired light fixture or other serious trouble.

If your AC wiring checks out OK, try Mike's advice first, since 
it's free and often cures the trouble:  if more drastic measures 
are needed, Radio Shack sells a "clip on" toroid filter that 
will also help.

FWIW, YMMV, HTH.
