Thanks Data, for helping me diagnose my sick PC.  :thumbsup:

The new PSU has sorted it, sort of. Still a bit unstable as it crashed whilst I was using it and wouldn't boot saying memory problem. A bit of a wiggle later and it seems fine. Will give it another clean out later.

Snowy, have you tried switching off and on again.  :rofl:
It WILL be fine !...

Data

Excellent, well apart from the memory, yeah a good clean might sort that  ;)

What PSU did you get in the end?   

Diesel, the good old turning it on and off again didn't do it this time  :'(  but I assure you it was tried many times  :D

I got the OCZ 750W. They actually had the 550W and 650W in stock too.

A modular one would've been neater but hey, it's working. Mobo is still a little twitchy. Will clean it again, wiggle it and switch it off and on again. (I call it a full manual reset)

That is a monster of a PSU there Snowy, should be big enough for your needs, just  :P

If the memory keeps dicking you around you could try it on one stick in single channel mode, then you have the option to test each stick and slot independently  :thumbsup:

I call turning it off and on again a "hard boot" as apposed to a "soft boot" which would be a restart without turning off the power.
