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.
