Peter,
1. Wait for the arc stabilize before starting all
other electronic equipment including the computer.
2. Properly shield (using Aluminium Foil) the high
voltage cables from the igniter/power supply to the
lamp.
We have been successful in resolving the problems with
the RF sparks by following the above two procedures.
All the best.
