You didn't give this information, but Ill assume your computer is a laptop,
otherwise having the power cable unplugged doesn't make any sense.

I suspect a serious ground loop or some other major problem with the power in
your house. It may be a problem with the battery charger/power supply for the
laptop, but is more likely a house problem.
