Older home? Believe it or not; the center pin on the outlet is just another connection for the cold side of the AC. The cold side is connected to the metal shielding in some electronic devices. That is why there is a notch on the non three-prong plugs, to prevent you from putting it in the wrong way... Somewhere along the line someone wired this backwards? One of the outlets needs to be pulled, and the wires switched around. My guess is who ever does it will uncover a electrical nightmare.

Ugh! I'm glad my home-built Windows server didn't do that :)

That thing isn't even plugged in from the AC.

We had something like this happen at my church. Turns out, we had 120V on the ground bar of the outlet. What was happening with us is the 120V in the metal chassis was shorting to a good ground on another outlet that the monitor was on.

Again like everyone else here has said your wiring or your power supply are bad. Check your wiring again and try it. Make sure you installed your video card correctly as well. Later!

who threw a spike into your house? Sounds like a bad neighbourhood
your hardware is fucked up!... Maybe you should stand in a puddle of water while reconnecting that, since you posted this under mythtv and it has absolutely nothing to do with it.
