did you think that maybe your running to much stuff in the same area? Maybe the fuse isn’t designed to handle so much power. Different rooms have different fuses and breakers, and to much power in one room with to much running and boom! I had a problem where i kept blowing breakers when i vaccuumed. I made a spare bedroom into an office and put the computer and printer and everything that went with it in there. The rooms are on different breakers, and now everythings good! give it a shot! you never know
