So, your rig was stable and the only thing you changed was the PSU?

**ZaBoo** · 03-28-2008, 08:13 PM

Yep...

Weird, and you are sure you have everything plugged in proper?
Are you plugging directly into the wall, or through a UPS?

It's just behind a power bar. It seems to have fixed itself.. At least for now. Figures as soon as I goto post after hours of mucking with the thing it stops. Thanks for the words of encouragement

You might run MemTestx86 on that machine for 24-72 hours just to be sure its stable (and memory isn't at fault).
