I have a clock radio mabye 4 feet or so away from my computer.  My PC is on the floor and full tower it has a 400W Power Supply it's a P4.  When I turn my PC on i get a high pitch sound from my clock radio but it still works.  When I turn off my PC my radio works fine no problem.  Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

yer, dump the radio an buy a new one .. sounds like its interfering with some component inside the PC ..try moving the clock  further away from the PC an see if it still makes the sound

tried that still same effect...how do I find out what the interference may be?

Move them further apart.  If the computer and the radio are  presently plugged into the same wall outlet, it may help to plug them into different ones. 

Anything else would cost money (power line conditioning filters, better shielded computer case).

Would it make a difference if the PC and radio were plugged into the same powerbar?

Yes, they would be near...
Have you turned on a blender while watching tv?
a hair dryer?
Its the same effect.

didn't really work,  I had another plug at the other end of the room

Try it in a differnt room with no PC, check that its actually your PC interfering with it and not just a shitty clock radio.

My other radio wich is on the different room in the house also doesn't work on a specific station when my PC is on.  When the PC is off it works fine.
