As soon as I start to plug in, the ground touches first. And in that instance, the GFCI trips (20-amp breaker)
I also noticed an issue at my nephews, who owns the PC. This is a brand-new PC build. His bedroom is only a 15amp breaker. Haven't even got windows installed yet.
Any ideas on this? I brought it to Microcenter because it was freaking me out. They had no issues. If I plug it into a regular outlet, it doesn't trip anything (normal 20-amp breaker). I get it to power on, but I think when I bring it to his house (older home) it is going to trip again.
Would this indicate a bad PSU? My home is less than 15 years old, good wiring. No issues before this PC. I use this same plug for my PC. When I plugged in my nephew's PC, my PC was off so there wasn't an extremely high load on the GFCI.
Thank you, I'm desperate because it's a 2+ hour drive to Microcenter, and I've already done it twice. Once to buy all the components with him (he really wanted to go and buy them vs online purchase, grrrr) and a second to finish the build as I feared I could destroy a component.
The build...

EDIT: Second question (sorry!)
Trying to install Windows 11 now but it says it is not compatible. I'm beyond confused with this PC. I created a USB boot disk, same way I did my PC in Jan 2023. His has to be compatibly. 1, they sold me these parts knowing we were building a windows 11 build, and 2 they're all new parts!? I've build 6 over the last 20 years. Never had a single issue. This has been nothing but issues. I may just have to call them today I guess.
