May i ask what you meant by changing the power strip? You meant you change the power cord? Have you tried a different plug/socket? Is your PSU switch behind on? If you have a spare PSU, i suggest you try using the spare PSU first.

Can you try using a single socket for your desktop, do not use the power strip. As it might sound weird, but previously i have one friend who used the power strip, his PC was not getting enough power. I came to that conclusion when i told him to try using a dedicated socket just for his desktop and it works.
