Probably all down to the colour of that jinxed case - an unwholesome green! My purple machine on the other hand, is the sweetest computer Ive ever had, re-fitted only a few months earlier: Strong, silent and troublefree, like the perfect wife, in a purple burka. > The case and the OS, I bet.

The PSU is new, and it crashes (intermittently, but inexorably) down to the metal both with Unmentionable 2000 and Unmentionable 98SE. I now believe the only possible answer (apart from an offended case) is that there are, or were, three or more separate problems, one or more of which was introduced by any one of the new components. It should never have got to this; I should have paid better attention, but its always tempting to stop looking for more trouble when one is convinced that the problem has been found. However, as many have discovered before, and others have yet to discover: It is possible to be convinced - and still be wrong! I am now bracing myself to begin, systematically, all over again, and within a short while, QPC should be humming merrily away as my fastest QL yet! Wish me luck!
