Hallo Martin,
My system is grounded (once I moved into a farm only after grounding one of the plugs where I wanted to use my computer. The electrical network here in Brazil is not exactly one of the bests of the world :-) ). But I'm not really sure if that's a hardware issue, than it only happens when I use dyne. With other distros (tried at least another 5 on the last months) the system works perfectly. That's the strange point.
Anyway thanks again for the tip.

Make sure your electrical system is properly grounded (la tierra). It is
vital for the well being of your PC... Where I live, plenty of users have
electricity without ground (you know, that long metal stick, planted into
the ground, that connects to the 3rd hole in the plug)...
So it possibly is the source of your hardware problem...
Hasta luego,
M.
