I have 2 hard drives, a CD Rom, and a CD Rw, and a floppy. The fan is a coolermaster DP5-6I31C. That's what was sent w/ the combo from Microtech.

It seems like a lot of people are suggesting it's my powersupply. Not necessarily just that it is too low wattage, but also that maybe I need a better company. It is an AGI powersupply ? I've heard Antec is the way to go. I think i'll get a 400W and be done w/ that issue. I'll try buying and maybe returning if it doesn't solve.

This still shouldn't resolve my temperature issue. It's so wierd though b/c right now it is idling around 45 C ? ? ? the case is completely off, so it is pretty much infinate "fan" supply since cool air is constatnly there, but i've pushed 65 even with the case on. I've been at 65 lots though w/o it rebooting so I think this may be 2 separate issues...

The other wierd symptom is this. Sometimes when i load XP it sits at the login screen and I can't type or move the mouse. But- after a while, the screen saver comes on which seems to say that it isn't frozen, just the Mouse/Kb are offline... Does that confirm the power issue?

Thanks a ton!

Steve
