575470 2007-08-02 09:15:00 Yeah my vote goes for a really good quality power board also, had this problem a month or so ago after we had experienced a lot of power outages. May have damaged the board and when I replaced it I haven't experienced another failure, although at the same time I did a major anti virus, spyware + trojan check and i can't be sure that this didn't fix the problem.

best thing i ever bought was a little 650va ups for under 100 bucks,takes care of power anomilies :p ,if its not power in. it might be a thermal problem hes havin,ie bios shutdown temp to low,or heat sink on cpu not tight.

575471 2007-08-02 09:56:00 Can anyone link me to an NZ website selling a decent powerboard then? Preferable $20 or less. qazwsxokmijn (102)
575472 2007-08-02 10:35:00 I think with the system you've got I'd be looking at a better than $20 powerboard. That said mine probably cost $5 at Mitre 10 or the Warehouse. I love the idea of a super-duper board that you see in computer shops or Dick Smiths ($80~$150 range), but what puts me off - other than price - is they are often two rows of 3 or 4 plugs and by the time you've got power packs plugged in it makes for a wide unit that isn't that easy to fit behind the desk. So, yeah, if anyone has a good alternative single strip board recommendation I'll be interested too. Grimy. Grimy (3041)
