over an area of the platter not safe to stop the head.
The reason that cooking causes the electricity to fail is
that using electrons to heat uses a lot of electrons and
your house power system is under-sized.
Your best bet is to get a UPS to keep the power flowing
properly to your computer and shut it down automatically in
case of a power failure.
A qualified electrician or engineer can survey and advise
what changes in your power service should be made to allow
use of the appliances and equipment in your home. Modern
homes now have many more devices, used more often and in
combination than in years past. Kitchens are electric, even
if gas is used for heat, there are microwave ovens, can
openers, lots of lights, there is often a TV and game
console in all the rooms and outdoor Christmas lights also
draw power.
