I tend to agree with the power supply theory. Was the make and model of
the PS ever determined?
In the Jan 2005 issue of Maximum PC
(http://www.maximumpc.com/issue_date/january_2005/) there is an atricle
testing 7 ~500 watt power supplies and a 400 watt reference power supply.
Of the 8 PS tested,
Power at this house is fine. We've not had any problems as far as i can
tell, and the box is on a ups that's good, so i don't think it's that
either.
So, no overheating, I seriously dout the ps is defective, though i guess
anything is possible. What else would that leave? heh
