computer problems again

Quote:It sounds like good advice, and the computer goes on the kitchen table Friday when I have some time. BTW, there are no "cheap" components. It is an Antec Neopower power supply and an ASUS motherboard.
I was only reflecting on my own experience. I've just found that if you don't actually design the system from the Mobo up, with adequate power, adequate cooling, really solid components with the latest stable drivers, that the entire system suffers stability issues and an early death. The tendency is for the builder to try to skimp on something to make a extra buck or two. For example, I typically end up replacing or adding heat sinks for chips that run hotter on most stock motherboards. And... After my last DELL was designed so poorly, I decided that I could do better myself and that since I'm in the computing business having a stable and reliable machine was worth the extra effort.
