The error when you turn on you computer is because the trigger circuit is closed and this completes the torch trigger and it fires.
wait until you have the computer on and mach 3 loaded before you turn on the plasma unit and it will not trigger like that.
This is not the reason you torch goes out while cutting, that is something else!

Similarly I have to remember to turn my PM45 off BEFORE I close Mach3 or the torch fires !
