Yeah. Nearly 40 amp total +12 volt, 40 amp 5 volt, that should be a |
| 17 |
plenty for nearly anything (as Mr. Gates is alleged to have said about |
| 18 |
640k <g>). |

Thus, it's looking to me like something, probably the power supply, is |
| 21 |
defective. |

Just thinking... It isn't bad location power, one would hope? A power |
| 24 |
supply can only do so much, if the input power is bad. I know we're about |
| 25 |
to move out of an old building at work, which gives the computers fits |
| 26 |
from time to time, even with them on (little/local, not building) UPSs to |
| 27 |
filter the power. (Opening day is scheduled two weeks from today, the |
| 28 |
21st! Whee! Christmas present! It means I don't get to leave for the |
| 29 |
holidays, tho.) |
