My motherboard chipset supports ECC RAM and I have ECC RAM installed. I upgraded to an expensive Antec power supply that has better specs than most of the other supplies I looked at. The system is plugged into a surge supressor. I don't currently have an UPS. I added an extra case fan and drive cooler fans, and the two failures happened in the evening after the room cooled off. For some reason xmbmon doesn't seem to be working at the moment, but when I looked at the temperatures previously they seemed to be acceptable. I don't believe in overclocking.
