Path of Exile tripping circuit breaker

Sounds ridiculous, but here's the issue. Fire up POE, after 2-10 minutes my circuit breaker trips for my front area. Happens like clockwork.

Testing done: played other high system requirement games with high energy usage devices including space heater, blow dryer, and television turned on using the same circuit, no trip. Computer on with only modem and single monitor plugged in, turn on POE, breaker trips.

Testing to be done: replace surge protector, plug in setup to different circuit. Pending time off work, too busy to run tests. Typing this mobile at work.

Anyone hear anything about this? My theory is POE for some reason is causing massive sudden spike in harddrive/processor power requirements and the breaker is being tripped in response to the sudden pull. I don't know much about breakers or power requirements for computer hardware though. 500+ hours played, no issues like this prior to 12/19/19.

Thanks

Quick follow-up, home now, ran single map post patch without a breaker trip. Possibly left as mysteriously as it arrived? Will write again if the issue returns.
well super simple. The PoE client is software running on your PC in your house.
If there is something wrong with your PC so that it can trip your brakers then that is something you need to look at --> hardware problem in your pc like the PSU can draw more power then your circuit braker can handle.
