Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Theoretically? Yes.
Pratically? No.
If your PC was running full steam ahead, we can assume that it might be pulling as much as 400W at the outlet. That's just under 4A.
What else do you have plugged into the strip?
The strip should be able to handle a max load of 15A with probably a 4A to 10A capability per outlet. Any "loss" due to resistance caused by additional wiring, cuircuitry, switches, etc is minimal... unless the strip is BAD (i.e. defective.)
