Ferrite chokes easily fix this problem. Very useful to have a box of them in an office full of people.

It’s pretty clear that most modern standards (HDMI, DisplayPort, thunderbolt, etc) are so close to their physical limits that there’s no more room for errors.

I'm having the same problem, except it's crashing my dang PC. Actually, it's only crashing the GPU, but that's pretty indistinguishable from the whole PC crashing in practice.

Now I'm wondering if I should ground my chair to the shelf my PC is sitting on.

As pretty obvious evidence this is static related, it only happens in the winter.

I have the exact same problem, except it affects my cheapo keyboard. Almost every time I move from my desk, the Num/Caps/Scroll Lock LEDs flash up as the controller restarts. And since it's a PS/2 model, if I'm holding a key and let it go as I'm standing up, it never sends the termination sequence and keeps typing it until I press it again.

I'll definitely try some of the tricks from this article.

Might want to increase humidity. In ESD rooms the humidity is controlled and kept high to reduce static build up.

I thought it was me bumping my table. But now you have me wondering if it's charge buildup.

It looks like the youtube embed is broken. It is supposed to link to a EEV blog video. It is wild how many times someone brings me broken equipment and it turns out EEV blog has already investigated the same issue for the same device.

Remember the "degauss" button? I had no idea what it did, but the sound it made sure was satisfying.

I played with a negative ion generator at my desk, and it was great at knocking out my 1440p monitor signal, but the 1080p seemed more resilient.

Since then I got a 4K display, and it likes to drop out in thunderstorms. I switched to a better DP to HDMI adapter, and the chunky original Samsung cable. I'm waiting for the next storm to see if it helps.

Sounds like very cheap monitor which had lot of cost cutting done on side of protections of inputs.

I would not be surprised that touching such monitor will electrocute you.

The sound card on my windows computer dies if i turn the desk fan i have off! I should try it

I find this very interesting, especially given that there is a paper from 1993 (linked in the artcile) that explains the issue, but it is still happening - and maybe nowadays even more than ever?

Shorten the display cable.
