Kernel Power 41 - IEC Extension Cable?

Hello,

 

since I moved to a new house I've started getting Kernel Power 41 (63) critical errors (no BSoD/RSoD, just a pure red screen with no text on it). 

 

I check my PSU modular cables and they all look fine. However, I must admit that my PC is connected to a surge protected power strip, which is connected to another power strip along with the internet router and monitor. I borrowed the second power strip (non-surge protected) from one of my housemates and it looks very cheap, and I think that the problem might be caused by it as it does not deliver enough power to my system at times. 

 

Since I cannot move the internet router due to the fiber cable, and I cannot move the desk either, I was thinking of buying a IEC extension cable to plug the PC into a further away socket that is not shared by any other appliance. However, my cable is not long enough, and I was thinking of buying this (see picture). In this way the PC would be connected in this way: Socket > UK to EU adapter > APC surge protector  power strip (only PC connected to it) > IEC extension > original PSU cable > case cable (the Node 202 has a cable extension inside it before it reaches the PSU) > PSU

 

Is it safe to use IEC extension cables? Do you think this MIGHT fix the Power Kernel problem?

Corsair SF450

 

I am now using that cable extension, seems to be working fine. But if you have any opinion to share, I would be glad if you shared it.
