Yeah. Nearly 40 amp total +12 volt, 40 amp 5 volt, that should be a plenty for nearly anything (as Mr. Gates is alleged to have said about 640k <g>). Thus, it's looking to me like something, probably the power supply, is defective. Just thinking... It isn't bad location power, one would hope? A power supply can only do so much, if the input power is bad. I know we're about to move out of an old building at work, which gives the computers fits from time to time, even with them on (little/local, not building) UPSs to filter the power.
