Run memtest86 to check mboard and ram or shunt huge files around
until you can reliably reproduce the bug.
If I'm not getting the correct voltage I would believe that the
ram/cpu/mboard would act up so I'm thinking I would have to test it
with another power supply for a comparison, but I will run memtest86
tonight
I recommended memtest86 xor shunt files around for two reasons...
* so you can get a fast reliable check of "did that fix it?"
* hardware can go flaky for many reasons other than power supplies.
Disconnect two of the SATA drives and see if the problem goes away.
ok so I'm 80% sure that it's the power supply, 3.3V is running at
3.09V (0.045V below ATX spec)
That's why I suggested disconnecting the two extra drives.... quickest
way of getting a little extra juice.
