Back in December, it was the power supply. That was a cheap Rosewill
300W PSU. The new is a Corsair CX500 (500W). The system basically just
has an old SCSI card and 4 Green Barracuda 2TB disks and a low end
pci-e video card and pci-e gigabit NIC. How can the PSU be the problem
since I replaced it and it's more than adequate?
