Power surge auto-shutting off when trying to use monitor

Hello I’m setting up my work from home desk and I’m not sure if I have a circuit issue in my room or what but I can only run my work laptop, when I try to plug in my monitor too my surge protector auto turns off. For context I just have 1 laptop, 1 monitor, and a docking station. I even decided to buy another surge protector - plug it into a different outlet in the same corner of the room - plug my monitor into that - plug the monitor into the docking station - and then tried powering it on and then both surge protectors shut off. So I’m not sure what I should try now? I could try my outlet that’s on the other side of the wall since the cord is long and maybe it’s a different circuit? Anything helps as I’m working out of just my laptop currently
