This has to be the gfi, They are designed to kick out at the slightest hint of of a short or power to ground. I personally have had a few bad experiences with the 15 amp GFI recepticles, and have upgraded to an industrial style 20 amp model which is still acceptable for code here. Check your local electrical codes before doing this, and make sure it is the first recepticle in the circuit.
