I was not sure where to put this post...but since I am dealing with an overclocked computer, here it goes...
I am having a SEVERE problem with Electro-Magnetic Interference. When my computer is on, (a) my garage door opener will not operate with the remote (the wall mounted wired push-button works), and (b) my keyless entry system to my vehicle does not work either. I am 100% sure it is related to my computer because as soon as I power off my computer, the garage door functions as normal and my keyless entry works fine as well! I have done a little testing with my trucks keyless entry system and it appears that the interference extends out from my computer some 50 to 60 feet or so minimum (through the exterior stuccoed wall, across the yard, and in to the street where my truck sits). My garage door opener is approximately 40-50 feet (as the crow flies) from my computer. I do have a window in the case, and I when i tried to put a non-windowed case side next to it to block the interference, it did not fix the problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what I can do to rectify this situation? Right now it's not a HUGE deal, but I will be moving to Idaho soon, my office/computer room will be closer to my garage, and I will have not 1 but 2 garage door openers to contend with (and the wife has made it clear that the garage door opener MUST function as normal PERIOD (she doesn't dig parking outside in sub-freezing temps).
HELP!!!
Thanks!
