I have this problem when I play specifically Rust on my PC, a high CPU usage game, sometimes it causes my breaker to flip. Some nights I will go the entire night playing Rust and my breaker won't trip. Other times I'll just be logging on and my breaker will trip. Sometimes I'll even have my breaker trip 3 or 4 times back to back, until I just give up. I don't know what the problem could be, I don't know much about PCs but the only thing I could think of is it having to do something with my CPU because my breaker will only trip when I'm playing Rust.
I just don't have any idea why sometimes I can go hours without my breaker tripping and sometimes it happens as soon as I log onto a server. Also, this didn't happen before I upgraded my PC, I previously had a GTX 1060 3GB, i5 7400, and I can't recall what motherboard, but now I have Ryzen 5 3600, 2060 SUPER, and an ASUS Prime B550M-A (WiFi) motherboard. Also I tried switching to a different room within my house, but it still flipped the breaker for that room as well. I posted this on Reddit, but had no luck fixing my issue.
I have had my 2nd monitor unplugged for a while now, and when I tried to turn my pc on my monitor said no signal, so I plugged in my other monitor hoping HDMI would work, and when I started my PC with both of my monitors plugged in, I got to log into my computer then my breaker tripped. So I tried again, and while my PC was booting up, my breaker tripped again. So I unplugged my 2nd monitor from the surge protector and from my GPU, and I started my PC up and it didn't trip the breaker. This is the first time my breaker has tripped when not being on Rust. Keep in mind that my breaker still trips even when using just one monitor while playing Rust.
