(Is there a line eater out there??)

I moved my Amiga from my office, which has very regular power, to my apartment
which is very badly wired and has an overtaxed fusebox. As a result of the
previous conditions, the apartment is subject to frequent brown outs. I have
a surge protector on my Amiga, but I still get strange effects. Every so often
the colors on my Amiga monitor will all shift in intensity, either darker, 
deeper hues or lighter brighter ones. I never had this effect at the office,
and as I am doing single frame anmimation it is anoying to say the least.

The problem is definately with the Amiga'a RGB out as I also run my video
deck to the monitior and do not get the same effect. Could the brownouts
be causing these color shifts? If so, is this somehow damaging my Amiga or
will the problem go away if I move to an apartment with better electricity??

Thanx much.
