So last night I go to have a look at my “new” computer, and, to make a long story short, I start getting messages that the anti-surge protection on the motherboard had detected a power spike and had shut down (which is not what it said at first; when I found it, it said the BIOS checksum was bad, which was odd as I wasn’t actually in the process of updating the BIOS at the time). So, anyhow, I’m hoping it’s the power supply and not the MB. I was gonna order a new PS anyway (so as to eventually get a PCIE video card, which requires a bit more oomph), so I ordered that and a power supply checker (easier than using a meter) this morning. We shall see. The PS is old, so hopefully that’s it. I’d been having problems with the damn thing crapping out on me, which, going by the minidump, I’d attributed to some sort of hardware issue. What a hassle.
