if it is tripping hte circuit, get some shielded wire, and connect it to the ground tab/run it to some water pipes

If it is tripping the circuit you have a problem. The ground is made to trip the breaker, and is actually connected to the neutral in the breaker box. It is a safety backup only, not neccessary to run something like an appliance, while a computer may use it for noise shielding.

If you are tripping the breaker, you are either overloading the circuit or somewhere you have a short. I'd find out which and fix it, soon

Wtf does "tripping the breaker" mean? I'm not overloading the circuit because I've kept it on for over 2 days now.
