All good tips.
I had similar problems with a computer one of the salesmen brought in from
home and used as his dekstop. The thing would die or reboot with the drop of
a hat... Turned out the powersupply was so inadequate that it was running
balls to the wall just to boot the box up in the morning... swapped out an
old 143 watt x-brand for a 400 watt antec (in an amd athlon box) and the
problems went away magically...
